Introduction

This was my second trip to Frankfurt, my first one having been only six weeks before. I had a great time on my first trip and seeing as I had to make a mileage run to hit Platinum on Continental, I decided to go again. A few of the guys on this board had asked me to let them know when my next trip would be so that maybe we could hook up. As it turned out DonMarco was going to be there already and Redwinger63 was able to make it up from Italy. A couple of the other guys weren’t able to make it, but there’s always a next time.

My 1st trip was great sex-wise but an absolute disaster preparation-wise. I wrongly figured that I was only going away for two nights, how much preparation did I need? Well, that thinking cost me dearly on the first trip, in both time and money. I was anxious to learn from my mistakes and make this a great weekend.

Seems par for the course... In spite of reading about the challenges, I feel I could of done a lot more in preparation.

1. cheap waterproof watch (mine croaked due to mega moisture)

2. polish up on some conversational german

3. research on convienent hotels/B&Bs (Marriot is not recommended). Also getting one close to the action yields major dividents besides cutting down travel time-- gas is not cheap. My gas bill for three days totalled 76 Euros and you toted me around most of one day...

4. Small travel bag for shower rooms

5. Detailed road maps
