Plane Tickets

We are all getting pretty eager right now to book our plane tickets. Brian and I would like you to be there on Friday (Some will be in Europe already). A good way to guarantee you there on Friday is to leave the US Thursday afternoon/evening. The later the better. This will give you an opportunity to sleep (hopefully) the whole flight since it will be overnight. You will then be planted in Germany Friday morning or early afternoon. Sounds like a lot of you are leaving that Monday. Maybe you can all coordinate. I can post the departure times and arrival times on here if you would like. Just send me your itinerary. It looks like the tickets haven't really changed in price since December on. :( But on a good note, the Euro is falling :). Great for us but not our economy. Please call us if you have any questions. Thanks

Tips and Information

Germany is in GMT +1, that's +7 hrs for CST and +6 for EST. This will change with daylight savings time. 1 pm in Wisco = 8 pm in Germany
Germany has the Euro as its currency. There's a currency converter on this page
To convert km into miles (you'll need this trick if you rent a car and keep looking at the MPH) is divide by two and add the first one or two numbers. i.e. 100/2 = 50....50 + 10 = 60 miles. I get the 10 because the first two numbers in 100 is 10. 100 km is roughly 60 miles. 70 km is roughly 42 miles. 35 + 7 = 42
They will speak English there. There is also a huge US Army post located in Heidelberg. You may run into some Joes. Just what Brian wants he he, but nice for the single ladies. LoL
To travel in Europe is a lot easier than America. Cars, trains, busses, and air are very accessible. In the websites posted, there is a lot of information regarding travel.
The ATMs will take your VISA (I can't speak for MasterCard or American Express). You will get the best exchange rate on the street ATMs. Not the airports or conversion windows. Becasue VISA is taken everywhere I'd steer away from traveler's checks. They're not really needed anymore and the banks here and there will not give a good exchange rate.
Frankfurt (FRA) is the closest airport to Heidelberg at 78.5 km. That's about 45 minutes by car.
