[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] David, the planning will be almost as much fun as the trip. A couple thoughts from escorting our teenagers around Europe almost 20 years ago: Their favorite thing was our BMW rental (not considered a premium car) that we aired out on the Autobahn on our way to Bavaria; Everyone liked the small medieval town of Rothenberg in Bavaria - great spot for an overnight as you feel like you are living in another age in the evening after the tour buses leave; Also everyone's favorite was the train ride up to Jungfraujoch -after you leave the station at the top you walk out onto the glacier where family friendly (not steep) ski rentals await. Everyone also liked the Rhine cruise and you could check off two items on your list. We took a short day cruise that ended within a short walk to the Cologne cathedral. The countryside and castles are fascinating and kept the family happily occupied. I liked sipping the Riesling and watching the DBB trains scurry along the river. Perhaps you could work in the overnight if you get a cheaper fare to another gateway city like Amsterdam then the night train to Munich. The boys' thought it was very cool to sleep on the train and have dinner with all the 'foreigners' while looking at the countryside that is so different from ours. The morning ride into Munich from Italy was great as we wound through the mountains. [/QB][/QUOTE]
