first off, i just cant say enough "thanks you's" for this ED forum. i stumbbled on this forum a while back when i was deciding between the g35, tl, (pre release) IS350, and the e90. the ED option just sealed the deal for me and now finally im leaving for munich on the 19th! (but technically im levaing tom because ill be staying at a hotel near LAX so i dont have to deal with the traffic). well here's my initiary:

-fly into Munich on the 20th at 10:55 am
-ED pick up on the 21st (around 10ish...for the 3 other guys doing pick up this day)
-drop off at harms the same day (i know, i know...but i have SP and it'll be snowing! )
-take a train for Bern, Switzerland on the 22nd
-take an overnight train from Bern to Rome from the 23rd to 24th
- Spend Christmas at the Vatican (hopefully the musems will be open)
- stay in Rome till the 26 then off to Florence
- Florence until the 28th when i fly back to the US

So what do you guys think? ive booked most the hotels already through priceline (staying at the marriot in munich) i still need hotles in florence...but to be honest im really kind of nervous about this trip...ill be going w/ my girlfriend so i want this trip to go smoothly as possible. i keep on hearing horror stories about gypsies and now im all paranoid about them. i read the other last min. thread so i fixed my ATM card to only have 4-digit PIN. returned my int'l plug set for a one with a electrical current converter... umm made an extra note to sign the bimmerfest log which is in a drawer next to the coffee machine so yeah im a bit overwhelmed... this will be our first trip to Europe also so im planning doing all the touristy things. even going to the Hofbrauhous (its full of tourists but hey im a tourist also )

any tips,advise, restaurant/food recomendations, sight recomendations will be greatly appriciated. thanks again.

for the other three people with the 21st pick up date...hey wanna get a bier?
