Everyone Wants a Plan ! !

Don't you Oktoberfestians have minds of your own? How many posts in the last week or so refer to "the plan", or ask what are we doing on Friday, or Sunday? The answer is, something that has something to do with bier. Ok, maybe your inner biological clock can't handle the fluid nature of our excursion, a lack of discipline is foreign to you, you want your days scheduled for you. Well, if that is the case, give me 100 Euros per day and I will be your personal Oktoberfest guide. Recognizing this crew would never pay me anything for anything, the general, and occasionally modified, expected suggestions for occupying our time is as follows:

Major Activities Only... Fill in the Gaps When Appropriate...
Thursday
The Wiesn

Friday
Englisher Garten
Hofbrauhaus
Wiesn or Augustiner Keller

Saturday
Shopping hosted by Schlumberger Lady for the Frauleins
Paulaner Brauhaus for the non-shoppers
Braustuberl - Zieglerkeller Dachau

Sunday
Kloster Weltenberg
The Wiesn

Monday
An early visit to the Wiesn
An evening at a new Munich Bier Garten

Tuesday
Everyone join in... "Im leeeeeeeaving, on a jet plane..."

Ok, let the comments begin. Remember a few things... 1) there currently is no Kloster Andechs trip (this is highly unusual), 2)plans are guidelines subject to change, and 3) anyone can do anything at anytime with anyone else. Pheww!

"I am sure you can tell us what to do."

You're treading on thin ice with that comment.

Grumpy...

If by "the castle" you mean Neuschwanstein, King Ludwig's castle that Disney was modeled after, then you definately need to go. I would suggest going on Saturday so you can do Kloster Weltenburg with us on Sunday. You could also consider Monday. Once we get there we can help you figure out the train. Not a bad trip to get there. Everything you might ever want to know can be found here...

By Crow' nest, I think you mean Berchesgarten. This is a great day trip, toward Austria. If you go, I recommend the Salzburg Salt Mine tour.

Friday and Monday would work too.

I would think Neuschwanstein on Friday.
