The First Oktoberfestians Head to the Airport

Because of the west coast locale, BarleyMan and Paulaner Girl have the dubious honor of the first ones to begin the trek to Munchen. As of this posting, they are on their way to the airport. Later today they will be followed by Grumpy & Mrs. Grumpy, the newly appointed "Little Einfahrt", Jim, Sam, Chugger and the infamous Einfahrt himself.

Auf Wiedersehen.

The next post will originate from Munchen ! !

Heard from Jane. "Everything is lovely in Paris." She'll see the group tomorrow, Thursday, as we connect through Paris.
