 Got my confirmation today!!!!!



Gumby and the confirmation letter arrived today!!! Looks like we're really going to Germany!!!! Gumby clock is pretty cool!! My 7 year old little guy loves it - especially since it says BMW on it!! He's starting to notice BMWs on the road now instead of Audis, and he's definitely psyched about driving on the Autobahn with no speed limits. I guess i am too.

Only thing which tempered my excitement is that my well pump died tonight.
I hope I can still afford to go to Germany after the well company gets through with me tomorrow. I had to have my celebratory scotch without water tonight!!!
Oh well......no for me tonight!!

Anyone else picking up on Monday, November 21???? Maybe I'll see you at the delivery center.

Once again - thanks to all here. Without all the great advice, stories, etc. I never would have had the information to make this all happen.

Also - another plug for one of the board sponsors - Carbone BMW in Utica NY, and Brian Secord, my CA. He really made this all easy, and has been a pleasure to deal with - couldn't be happier.

Hey - Congrats to you too!!

Did you get the second package with the personal letter and food voucher (and gumby)?

I received my large welcome packet with maps, brochures, drop off info, etc. about a week ago. The packed i got today was small, just letter, food voucher and gumby clock. If you don't have it, I have an e-mail for someone in the ED office in NJ who has been real helpful.

I'm travelling with my wife, daughter (9) and son (7).

Our itinerary:

Arrive Munich - Sun 11/20 - 10:00 - not sure where we're staying yet.

Monday 11/21 - pickup car - drive to Regensburg - old walled city about 75 miles east of Munich. Stay night.

Tuesday 11/22 - Drive towards Fussen/Castles. Hope to drive some of the Deuches Alpenstrasse. Spending two nights in Guesthouse on a farm in Austria right over the border from Fussen. Tour castle with kids and drive around some more!

Thursday 11/24 - Drive to Strassbourg France - spend night in small town on "Wine Road" - drink and eat!!

Friday 11/25 - Drive to Paris - Drop off car at CDG Airport dropoff.

Weekend in Paris

Sunday 11/27 10 pm - Fly to London - Stay over.

Monday 11/28 - Day in London - 8pm - return to NYC

Wait for car!!!

All comments on above are welcome!!

Are you bringing the kids to Europe for the trip? Haven't read any ED reviews mentioning kids.

Just curious. Would a child in the car prevent you from driving, say, 149mph?

Yea - we're bringing the kids. Only bad thing is that they are not old enough for the factory tour and we don't have too much time - so I'll have to skip that this trip.

No - kids won't stop me from driving 149!!!!

Hey - It's legal over there!!!!

Actually - funny story - one day we were out in my 911 - beautiful day and deserted stretch of highway - took it up to about 135 for a bit. Well.....the next day was show and tell and guess what my 7 year old son told?????? Now I know why his friends parents always insist on picking their kids up from our house!!!!!
