Thank you Gretchen!

This should be awesome. I'd like to propose a map and a polling tool (we could use doodle). Mom suggested (I think) 5 cities, staying roughly 3 days in each city. A map will help us figure out what cities and in what order. The poll will allow us to vote on choices--activities, or cities, possibly dates of the trip, or even how we want to handle things.

Here are a couple of cities:
Trier (or some other old city with Roman ruins)
Dresden (or some city in the old East Germany)
