A leisurely roadtrip

Since the “tulip trip” has now been postponed to another weekend due to that little problem of no hotel availability in Amsterdam, the Budman and I have decided that a leisurely road trip along central Germany’s “Fairy Tale Road” may be just the ticket for this upcoming three-day weekend.

For those of you who know me, it may come as a shock to find that the weekend is not totally planned out: no destinations selected, hotels booked, or sights highlighted in yellow in the guidebooks. No, for a myriad of reasons, the Budman and I are heading out of Dusseldorf on Saturday with no ultimate destination or timeframe in mind. Just a couple of changes of clothes, a camera, road tunes, and a general idea of where we’re headed. By general, I mean either “north” or “south”.

I realize that for some of you, this is your normal travel style. For us “type-As”, we are living a bit on the edge on this one and are just going to see where the road (and our interests) take us. Hopefully, it will make for some interesting stories…especially since snow is forecasted….
