Vacay!

Oktoberfest: The worlds largest fair.

It is time for the Nurse and the Nerd to do some traveling, and this time we will have the world famous Ben Butler at our sides. We are leaving at 2:00 a.m. tonight/tomorrow morning on our flight.

In my size it would take a forrest.

Stop 1: Amsterdam. We will arrive early in the morning and hopefully meet up with good sir Ben. Now, Amsterdam has a reputation for mary juwana and the red light district, but I promise you my dear blog readers that I will keep Courtney and Ben on their best behavior. If you want some wooden clogs or tulip bulbs put your orders in now. My personal goal is to go Rijksmusem and the Van Gogh Museum, which had just closed when I got there the last time I was in the Netherlands. On Wednesday night we board our night train to….

You order beer a liter at a time in a "maß"

Stop 2:Munich. I hold that the Hofbrauhaus is the happiest place on earth after my last 2 stops in Munich. Munich in itself is a wonderful city that I loved. This time we will be there during Oktoberfest, which is the worlds largest fair, with 6 million visitors. Who would have thought that 6 million people would make finding a hotel so difficult and expensive? We did end up getting a room though at not too extortionate rates.

With luck we will be back next Sunday to blog all about it for you.
