Our trip has been on the planning/dreaming drawing board for a number of years. In 2006 we had the opportunity to spend the Christmas holidays with a German family. On that trip we visited our first Weihnachtsmarkt, or Christmas Market, in the city of Bremen. I found the Markt to be a magical wonderland. Unfortunately, due to work constraints, Nate came on a later flight and totally missed the experience. Since then we've been talking about making a tour of the markets in various cities all over Germany. This year it's really happening.

Our journey begins with our flight to Munich via Toronto. Munich will be our base for several days, then we'll work our way up the western side of the country until we reach Bremen again. There we'll spend a weekend with our German friends. Then our trip will end in Berlin where we'll spend a week with dear daughter and her Freund.
And now the waiting is over... off to the airport. Tomorrow... Munich.
