Wake Up Oktoberfestians!

The airline mask mandates have been removed (at least domestically), most mask mandates in Europe have been removed, let's just hope the next step is the testing requirements for entry into the countries. Still need to show proof of vaccination though in most places. There are still 5 more months to go and anything can happen so let's keep our proverbial fingers crossed. The next milestone is the decision to move forward with the Oktoberfest. There should be an official decision by mid-late May, but all indications are looking positive. This intrepid group of Oktoberfestians is committed to travel even if the Oktoberfest is not happening. Plenty of things to do on the Bier Immersion tour and day trips/bier gardens in München. 

Most of our planning is complete for the trip. All hotels have been reserved and most of us (hint hint Dopplebock) have our flight reservations. Committed participants include:

    Chugger
    Designated Walker
    Flying Dan
    Dopplebock

What's up with the rest of the regulars? Barley Man? Schlumberger Lady? Barbus? Einfahrt? Well, maybe Einfahrt can't be considered a regular anymore 😄  Nonetheless, it is never too late. This could be your last chance at an organized group visit to The Fatherland.

Let's begin to pick up the posting volume. Even if it is trivial, it shows you are actually interested. One key topic for discussion could be the possible venues to visit in the cities we will sample. We have limited time in a couple so thinking ahead will help.
