CaptSopwith 18 Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Good Morning Gents! Sorry I haven't posted in a bit. The fall semester is off and running and so am I. I had to share, however, that I am finally going out of the US for the first time! I can't tell you how exciting this is. I'm the first member of my family since my grandfather to go overseas - and he went for rather different reasons (WWII). I'll have to share pictures when I get back. Can't wait! Cheers guys! Hope everyone is doing well and BH: I was following your hurricane updates, glad things weren't worse than they were!

Bullethead 12 Posted September 1, 2012 Sounds like a lot of fun. I hope you have a good and safe trip. Maybe you can meet up with some of our German members along the way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HumanDrone 4 Posted September 1, 2012 Wow, that would be nice, and I hope you have a safe and fun trip, CaptSopwith! I am in Montevideo, Uruguay, now, on a trip to test an electrical generator, and though I've been abroad a few times, I'm a bit of a rube and don't get too adventurous - I don't know Spanish worth diddly, and not many here know English, so... Anyway, safe & fun (real) flying! Like BH says, we have members in Germany! One in particular comes to mind... Best, Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptSopwith 18 Posted September 1, 2012 I thought about Olham immediately... but I'm 99% sure he's in Berlin which puts me at least a few hours away from him at best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) . Soppy, when you're in Munich and if you're looking for a place to grab a bite, enjoy a bier, and hang out with some of the local journalists, head up the Sendlinger Straße to the Altes Hackerhaus. I stopped in there in 1975 and as such things don't change much in Europe I'm betting the place is still quite a bit the same. Great beer and Bavarian cuisine, and outstanding atmosphere. Have a stein for me while you're there, a nice dark harvest brew of some kind, if you'd be so kind. Prosit! Lou .

Olham 164 Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Captain, don't worry - I'm in school all day anyway, plus one hour to get there, and one hour to get back. At my age that's quite exhausting, cause inbetween the two rides, I try to stuff all that XHTML, Java and PHP stuff into my head, where the museum director keeps shouting something about "the house is full!" - in other words: you wouldn't have found me entertaining at all. But since you go to Munich, I would suggest a visit at the "Deutsches Museum" there, if you can make it. They have a branch in Schleissheim about aviation. http://www.deutsches-museum.de/ Also very good (or even better) must be the "Technik-Museum" in Sinsheim/Speyer. Perhaps you can get there too. http://www.technik-museum.de/ I guess you are very exited about such a far trip from home. I hope one day I can make it to the USA, and then I can visit you, if you have the time then. I wish you all the best and good luck & weather for your trip, Captain - and yes: we expect photos. Lot of photos! Edited September 1, 2012 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
