We tried to put as much as possible in it.....................................................................As a result of my first visit in the US I decided to come back with much more time! As soon as possible! The flights are unexpensive, the motels affordable and the high euro invites for buying & driving around there.
Yea let us know when you plan to return. Many of us will get together with you and show you around. There is a ton of things to do all over the state.

Hopefully you weren't on this flight. Lufthansa Airbus A320 tried to land in Hamburg and was blown all over the place. The left wing rubbed the ground but the plane took off again then landed safely the second time it tried. It looks like a lightweight glider instead of a heavy passenger plane in this nasty winter storm named "Emma" according to this story.

Here's the news website, and there's links to the video if you want to see it.

My Brother called me from Amsterdam Sunday, he flies a 727 for NorthWest Airlines and said that they had a 400 mile tail wind from New York to Amsterdam and that an 8 hour trip took them 5 hours. The wind blew him all over the runway at Amsterdam when the were landing. I guess that storm was pretty severe.

Call Al Gore...It probably was Globle Warming again!!!

Glad everyone made it home safe.

Jim

Shipping will cost appro. 1500€, that´s ok for me.
I knew which costs will come and get my money back in Germany.

No, we landed in Frankfurt, there was no real tail wind, just the regular jet stream.
They said it was a storm over here, but I cannot see some damage.

A lot of wind for some storm

I enjoyed your gas prices.
Which are quite funny--some places had 2.90 for reg, some over 3.40!
Nice differences, but still pretty low for european standard!

Yea seeing as how I paid at least that in the same prices over on my visit to Germany,,, well to be specific it was 3.40 euro, (almost double the dollar right now)and for a liter intead of a gallon! EXPENSIVE to say the least. USA will be up to those crazy prices in no time the way we are going.

Sorry, I supported Delta Airlines with my money - american car, american flight company

I will definately let you know when I´ll come back - have to pursuade my girlfriend for this idea.
Hard work, ´cause she still thinks that I only went to the US for cars - and this won´t change in the future.
Hmm, ok, she´s a little bit right, but not all all.
So much friendly people, such a nice countryside and these tasty burgers and steaks (ever tried to eat a steak in a restaurant here? you will lose a lot of money....) I cannot forget!

Only the Zed remains to remember the trip
