Thanks, all! [emoji2]
jd, I've been there a few times. When I graduated from high school, my mom gave me a trip to Europe as a graduation present - 15 countries in 30 days
Most recently, we spent 10 days in Germany and Italy for our 25th anniversary in 2009; we saw all three of our former German exchange students during that trip [emoji2]
dragn, waiting a while might be a good idea. We've been talking about doing a river cruise on the Rhine, so we could add some extra time at one end or the other. What fun that will be [emoji2]
