Re: Germany trip first week of April, any suggestions? Posted on: Tue, 20 Mar 2007 15:39:09 PST

The two agree that there's too much driving but based on the information he
posted, does he have any alternative? I don't think a train would be
practical and flying between locations is probably not an option and so that
leaves driving. Though you guys may have a point, you neglect to consider
what would be his alternatives. Actually, the best way to go through
Bavaria, weather permitting of course, is with a motorcycle, and I saw lots
of them when I was there. But with 2 kids ages 10 and 14, I'm not sure
that's practical either.
