Have you been there before ? This is my first overseas trip, any worldly advice :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- If you're driving Mike, just be aware that in Germany all highway directional signs are posted towards the city that you are heading, not North, South, East and West like we have in America. For example, if you are heading out of Frankfurt Main Airport, and are travelling south towards Karlsruhe on A5 (a major highway to travel out on, near the airport), the sign will state "Karlsruhe, Basel" and the one travelling north will probably say "/Hannover." Initially, though, it will lead you out of the airport, giving you ALL those cities, and then you will have to think quickly, as you will have to decide between "North" and "South" (cities aforementioned only are listed). Make sure your German geography is up to snuff! Study the map of Germany on the airline booklet (I'm know Lufthansa has it, as I jsut got back on flying them!) The rental car agencies also provide you with a map inside your car, so if you don't have one in there, (VERY essential!) head back to the counter and ask for one...If you need one and want to study your highways beforehand, I can probably mail you one... Take care, Dorab (Nivi@aol.com) 1990 Coupe Quattro, 66Kmi 1986 Chevy Caprice, 300K+mi (Still taking the ultimate amount of abuse from me, and purring, no less! Can't kill these cars-except it's rusting!) Possible additions to the stable (my landlord will have a fit!): 1990 V8Q or 1992 S4...
