*********************

the exam isn't until this weekend. There is a possibility that I might come back early, and that I might change my plane tickets. The program here is ending earlier than I thought because a large number of students are here as part of an exchange program on a trimester system and will be gone December 13. Also, the Harmonics lost a bass and I might consider coming back. We can talk all about it when you get here. Anyway, regardless of what happens, I have a friend in Paris and want to see London, so I might want to change my return ticket to leave from Heathrow instead of from Frankfurt because i think it might be cheaper (I would have to take the train back to Frankfurt which is fairly far).The itinerary. Here is my counter proposal:

Dec 20:meet you in Prague (600km)

Dec21: Munich or Salzburg (350km)

22: Vienna (350km) 23:Budapest(240km)

24-26: Krakow(260km (but over Carpathian mountains, could be hard)

26:Berlin (500km)

27:Hamburg(250km)

28:Brussels (500km) (Zach stays behind with friend)

29:Frankfurt (350km)

30: leave at 10:25

I think that I might be able to stay with a friend in Brussels and then take a bus (24hrs!) for about 100 dollars. I'll find out more. If you want to stay in Berlin longer (it's under too much construction) then we can skip Hamburg.Anyway, How does that sound? I wanted to go to cities that I haven't been to before as well as be with you guys as much as possible. Western Europe is expensive but cheaper when with other people, especially when those other people are your parents :) We don't have to decide now. I will try to see what my friends in Germany, Belgium are doing and maybe I can stay with them. I will see you soon.
