Tripping to a far away country, takes months in advanced planning to: Reserve an emergency exit seat on the plane – more leg room. Make Reservations for hotel rooms or airbnb rooms in the cities you wish to visit. Look up day trips from the cities. Purchase rail pass. Buy Rick Steves Germany and Berlin guide books and Berlin street map. I was born as Germany was demanding to become a conquering world power. My Father would try to explain the maps of troup movements as they came out in the New York Times. He had fought in the WWl and would have voluntered a second time had he not been too old.
We leave for Munich Sept 4th arriving the morning the 5th. two days later Nurnberg then on to Dresden finally Berlin.
We will keep you posted.......
