Not all packed but getting close.

We are packing today. Each of us are wearing pants 2 times, so half as many pants as needed. We found that every hotel has a hair dryer, so my wife is thrilled that she doesn't need to pack that.

Welcome back! We are looking forward to your trip report, if you choose to do one--and we hope you do! We are going at Christmas, and while I know the weather will be coooooold and itineary will be altered a bit, I'm very interested in who your guides were, if you did pre or post nights (and any suggestions for things to do on your own in Heidleberg and Munich), and tips re the hotels. Danke!

Our guides were Jennae and Marc.
I did do a pre-stay in Heidelberg. The Crown Plaza Hotel is walking distance of 5 to 10 minutes to the Hauptestrasse,the pedelstrian walking avenue. From there i walked down to the river .You can book river cruises there to up and down the river. I did not book any but that is something to do. On my pre-stay i went down the Hauptestrasse to the Holy Ghost Church. It has a walkway up the church steeple. I only made it up 80-90% of the way and looked out the windows to see a view of the town. Going down i injured my ankle and foot because of the foot nerve damage i have. The stairs are steep!
I tried to walk the Philosphers Way but my feet were still sore so i headed back to town to the Jesuit Church . In addition, i walked over to the Old Bridge with the Bridge Monkey .

Wear good walking shoes -Haupte Strasse is cobble stone and so is
Rothenberg. I wore sneakers but then changed to a good pair of shoes and it made walking for me better. Maybe differrent for each person. I was able to walk up and down all the castle stairways with no problem wearing shoes. The stairways were not as steep as the church steeple steps.

Thanks! We definately will be bringing good walking shoes (well, boots given the winter weather!), plus lots of hand warmers, gloves and the usually assortment of winter wear and layers layers layers. The ABD folks told me that one of the guides will be Jennae. I know you were there in late September--were the Oktoberfests starting up yet?
