Day trip talk

We already have some good ideas...  I saw an advert for Regensburg,  and thought... what a great idea.  Not so.  Takes way too long to get there.  The bus is the quickest way...

There might be...

Stay tuned.

Beer Futures

Upon noticing that the exchange rate is moving against us,  I started thinking about Beer Futures.

I don't have time to set one up,  nor do i think Hacker Pschorr will accept payment now for Beer in September. What to do....

I guess I can buy Euros now,    to spend on beer in September.   So if the exchange rate worsens to $1.35,  and I invest $1,000 now... I get an extra 65 euros to spend on beers,  @10.75 per beer...That means I have 6 extra beers in Munich. 

           Exchange rate Euros    Mass
Now                1.24 $1,000 € 806.45
September        1.35 $1,000 € 740.74     10.75
                                   € 65.71       6.11 


Flight Reservation Have Been Made!

It took some effort to save money, but the Vozels are booked:
