Hi Thomas -
Thanks for the advice. I'm going through Hamburg on the train, but looking
at the schedule it looks as if I have only 7 minutes to change. I'm headed
to Frankfurt and then maybe to Ider Overstein - to wind up on the US Army
base at Baumholder. I heard about the German LUG meeting near Köln on
Sunday, but unfortunately I now found out I only have two days instead of
four to spend with my best friend on the base, so I think I'll be skipping
the meeting. I do have a free day though before I return to the States (the
30th - I return the 31st), so I may see if it is possible to take the train
to LEGOLAND Germany or see if I can meet up with German AFOLs in the area.
-Tim
