Let me know if you want some Venetian secrets. I'm happy to see you're going to my second home (even if it is for only 8 hours).

Frank,
Looks like we'll both be travelling on my birthday. I'll be in the Caribbean and you'll be in Paris. I've got a while longer to wait for my ED. Sounds like a great itinerary, enjoy! |

Checking in from the Marriott in Munich, after 2 awesome nights in Paris. Too late now to hit Hofbrauhaus and pick-up is tomorrow. Gonna try and sneak in some pics of the Welt tonight if there's enough light. Simply amazing....every car on the autobahn is a BMW, Mercedes or Audi, only saw 2 non-German cars so far!

Well guys I got my car, I think I really used up ALOT of my delivery specialist time, my appt began at 10:20 and we finished and shook hands at 11:35, and I requested to keep my car on the turntable for some additional time to set up my tripod and take pics.
Uploading my pics now from my wife's point and shoot, the dSLR pics will come later. We're just back at the Marriott now so my wife can switch from heels to flat shoes LOL then going back to the museum and the factory tour around 3:30.
