Two Weeks Until Departure

Two weeks from today, BarleyMan, Bob. D. and myself head off to Amsterdam for a couple of days before Munchen.  This will give Bob. D. a chance to ease into international travel before we take the big leap. 

In keeping with full disclosure and the educational nature of these trips, I would once again emphasize the rules (more like guidelines) for newbies....
  1. Never feel compelled to do anything.  Go with the group if you want, or go out on your own if that seems best.
  2. Always know how to get back to the hotel on your own.
  3. Do as we say, not as we do.  Especially when it comes to consuming mass quantities.  We are professionals, do not attempt this at home.
  4. Finally, be sure to acquaint yourself with BarleyMan's Recommendations and Tips.
Prost !
