GAPP February 24, 2011 Thursday (Donnerstag)

Well, folks !! It is one day until take off!!!  I packed and repacked my luggage twice last night.  Do I really need this, do I really need that..... Today, my check-in luggage weighed in at 46.2 lbs, it just made it.  The limit is 48 lbs for check-in.  Maybe I'll revisit tonight -- need some room for a few souvenirs.  I have a carry-on luggage with wheels, and wanted to not carry a pocketbook but I might have to. Decisions, decisions, decisions!!!  Our whole group is going thru the same process.

Right below is a map of Germany. To refresh your mind, we will be staying in the Saxony region (#13) for most of our exchange.  We will travel to Berlin (#3) and Prague (see lower map).
