Hi Greg and Natalie,
Just a little bit of information to let you know where we're going to stay next week.
http://www.ferienhaus-kiesberg.de/ is the house where we rented an appartment. We'll drive there on saturday and Herman planned to leave at 6 a.m., but I prefer to stay in bed a little longer....
When all goes well with the traffc, we can drive there in about 7 hours (it is about 777 km). Usually we both drive fot 2 hours and then we change places. Our kids are used to driving for hours, so we don't take too many breaks.
There is no maximum speed in Germany, so we'll try to find out what speed our car can reach (don't worry; it's a hybrid Toyota Prius so it cannot go very fast).
We did not plan what we'll do for the whole week, since we're not sure about the weather but there are some things we really want to do:
- visit Legoland (http://www.legoland.de/In-the-park/Park-map/Park-virtuell.htm?lc=en)
- visit concentration camp Dachau. Many dutch/jewish people were killed there during WW2. Since this is part of our history; (Herman is partly jewish) and the deportation camp is close to our house, this visit has been on our to-do-list for a long time http://philip.greenspun.com/bp/dachau
- we might visit one of the King's palaces.
http://www.schwangau.de/dorf-der-koenigsschloesse-224.html We already did that twice, but we don't mind doing it again when Lydia wants to go there.
- we want to visit the city of München/Munich. It is supposed to be very beautiful but we never were there before.
- we want to go to Austria to find out if they already had snow and we want to visit Liechtenstein, which is the smallest country in Europe, but not part of the European Union.
I hope that Lydia will not be disappointed, because she is really looking forward to this vacation (and so are we!). I'll take my laptop with me and if we have any connection (one never knows) you might even get a surprise call!
Greg, I have been looking for a way to make money with internet radio. We have a lot of internet radio here and there a many forums too, but they all are in dutch. Maybe there a American forums (fora?) too?
In Holland it is verty difficult to make internet radio and make profit because one has to pay royalties to artits and writers. The best way is finding sponsors....
You might want to check this website out: http://www.deezer.com/ because the format is very nice. It's a french website but also available in english and dutch.
http://www.nederland.fm/ will give you all internet radio stations available here... you might want to be one of them...
By the way, do you know Jeff Dunham? We love his speech on the prius since Herman drives a prius http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=QodB0BObiZo
Have a good week!
Regards, Harriët
