As some of you may know, my sister is currently in Germany for a couple weeks. While there, her Army son will be marrying his German fiance. She has already written on her blog about the wonderful time they’re having there - all the activities that are going on and the beautiful sights they’ve seen and the sites they’ve visited.
I am a bit jealous that she is traveling in a part of the world that I’ve always wanted to visit. Ever since I saw “Heidi” as a child and then later ”The Sound of Music” when I was in high school or college (can’t remember which 
), I’ve longed to visit Austria, Germany and all the beautiful and scenic places I saw in those favorite movies.
Just imagine gazing at the magestic mountains of the Bavarian Alps, seeing the Schonbrunn palace in Vienna, or visiting the Brandenburge gates in Berlin. The great thing now is that you can do so much of the planning for those once-in-a-lifetime trips via the internet. You can find wien hotels, hotels in berlin, hotels in muenchen, and hotels in deutschland. You can follow links to find activities and sites of interest in all the places you long to travel.

When I was a child my mother joined the army and was stationed in Germany. In ‘74 my grandmother took 9-yr-old me over and we stayed most of the summer. All grandma wanted to see was Switzerland, because of Heidi. We didn’t get past the Rhein-falls in Schaffhausen that trip, but she got to set foot in Switzerland.
It was all she wanted.
