We had a hearty 33 on our tour--one couple cancelled completely, one mother/son missed one day and one family of 8 missed Heidleberg completely but caught up with us after that. Great trip--we got back late yesterday so I'm waiting for jet lag to hit me like a ton of bricks. I am looking forward to reading FigmentFan's account--I see she posted, but haven't looked yet. The weather was tough--but once in Germany it was great weather. Security at the airports AFTER 12/25 was crazy--but it didn't mar the trip itself.
