Rovie - I think if you take the Autobahn from your city, head west to Koln, thru Belgium, then finally to Bruges. Get in one of those WW ships to Port Hueneme. You may not make it this weekend, but more that likely the June Expo! But then again, the Kuekenhof Tulips festival is still on so you'll probably elect to stay there this month. And sometime in August, is the Brussels Flower festival on this year? Or next year? I did travel to many of these places when I was at Kaiserslautern for 4 years. I enjoyed Germany!!!
