You know you are committed to this trip when...

you actually have airline reservations. As of today, Einfarht and Chugger have reservations to Amsterdam, and then home from Munchen. I believe these are the first, and only, reservations to be confirmed for this trip. Let's go fellow Oktoberfestians.

Here are the details of our itinerary...

The Grand Puhba is not happy. While exulted in the afterlife, more temporal venues consider him less worthy.

The Puhbah Chariot of Choice(r), Southwest, does not fly to Munich. Other, less reputable Charioteers are demanding a king's ransom in miles for the Grand Puhba and PrivateHops to fly free.

Therefore, I must expend Rupees to secure passage.

"'tis better to expend Rupees for passage than to have no passage at all."
The BDG2M 6th Edition
Introduction, Section 2, Paragraph 2

What is the formal Rupee exchange rate these days? Is it superior to delay acquisition of said passage, or expect the almighty to gracefully improve the value of the Rupee?

Only the Grand Puhba will know.

I have consulted the Maharishi, and he says the official exchange rate is 45 Rupees for every Plebian Dollar.

This means the current chariot passage price is about 80,000 Rupees.

I must go consult my advisors.
