 I got a notification Keith!

Southern France?

 While I'm still an uncommitted traveler,  is there interest France, Paris, or southern around Nice?

I haven't used this in a while.  Does it still work?

We are in full planning mode !

This year's group of Oktoberfestians is in full planning mode for our trip. Now it is mostly waiting, bier training, and possibly convincing non-participants to, you know, get off their arses. Travel to Europe is open (f*ck Putin), and even if, heaven forbid, the 'Fest is cancelled again, the crew plans to travel. 

A remake of 2021's plans for a Bier Immersion tour is once again in play. We will visit Berlin, Leipzig, Düsseldorf, Köln, Bamberg (day trip to Kulmbach) and then München. Chugger and Designated Walker have a pre-trip to Italy planned, as well as a post-trip to Slovenia. Flying Dan is also considering extracurricular activities. 

The following Oktoberfestians have been confirmed for the trip:

    Chugger (but of course)
    Designated Walker
    Flying Dan
    Dopplebach

Still to be heard from officially:

    Barley Man
    Barbus
    Schlumberger Lady

We welcome any and all those not mentioned to join the revelry. All hotels have been reserved and some airline reservations have been made. Start cranking up the posts, and more trip specifics will begin to emerge.
