A few others in his training class lived in the same area and were on the same train. Done. Spent all that money training 4-5 people just to can them on the first day.

    Edit: Of course the five minutes may have been 45-60, and the other people in his training class may have numbered 0.

      Where in Germany will you be going?
      I think I’m going to head there in August. Definitely concentrating on Berlin but might take a few day trips

        Munich, Gendorf, and Frankfurt. I’m looking to get a side trip down to Herrsching to visit the place I stayed last year (Gastof Zur Post).

        In an unfair twist, we have to be back before 6/15 otherwise the CEO gets involved because of a hold on international travel. So I get screwed out of an extra weekend. :-/

        I wouldn’t mind making this trip once every year or two. It’s not a terribly expensive trip.

          Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

            Flights booked. Now I have a free weekend starting from Munich on 6/8 and need to be in Frankfurt on Sunday night/Monday morning.

            Considering a weekend trip to Oslo. Others on the short list are Lucerne, Prague, trying to be the first American in 150 years from my family to get back to the town we came from. Or just bum around Munich again.

              If you're doing Norway, don't do Oslo. Do Bergen instead.
              Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

                  Prague is a fantastic city and I've enjoyed it both times I've visited. Since you're already south in Germany, I would recommend heading to Sud Tirol in northern Italy. Beautiful country with lots of outdoor things to do and see. Plus, it gives you a chance to slow down, especially if you're trying to squeeze in a bunch of places for the work part of the trip.

                    I'm guessing Istanbul is not new to you. What do you do when there for a weekend?

                            I’ve been to Prague a couple times and it’s a wonderful city.

                            One thing to note, I should clarify that the small town my family heralds from isn’t Prague. Re-reading my OP was confusing.

                            I haven’t been to Sud Tirol. Might be interesting. I’ll take a look. One of the reasons Norway was so interesting is that it’s one of the few countries in Europe I haven’t made it to yet.
