Oh my gosh.....
I am currently on a frikin' tear to get everything wrapped up at work to make sure I can freely enjoy the trip. But, I think we need to take some time, before we leave, to read some heavenly guidance, to remember why we are going, and to visualize the spirit of our quest.
It is at times like these, where spiritual writings are helpful, so I direct you to a transcript of an early sign that this trip goes beyond your common vacation...

A reading from The Book According to Larry.
Fifth Edition
Chapter..... Beer
Page........ 23
Sub-Heading. Why does it taste so good?
and it was said,
"Although some have to acquire the taste, the most discriminatiung beer-drinker is usually won over to German beer with the first smooth and frothy gulp. The beer is just that good. Why? Two reasons: freshness and purity. The first attribute is due to the stubbornness of most German brewers to give in to the all-too-common industrial practice of pasteurization. The process, most often employed to sanitize raw milk products, requires hyper-heating the liquid long enough to kill all the bacteria. The treated beverage can then be shipped across long distances and remain stable, making it practical for overseas markets. However, the longevity of the brew comes at a high price. 'Authentic' German beers exported in this manner lose their distinctive qualities, since the pasteurization and use of preservatives kill the flavor."
All hail the "Reinheitsgebot" !
