There was the steak vom schwein and the meter long currywurst!! What a great trip! Both of the last two that you posted (I'm just behind in reading). Oktoberfest was one the most FUN places I've ever been! I can't wait to go back some day...

This was such a good trip! So many TPR tours stand out... but every time Chuck posts a new update in this thread, I find myself smiling and caught up in total wanderlust remembering how much FUN we all had! Even when "Adventure Tour" found a whole new meaning at Satan's Lodge that night... and Banshee nearly poked my eye out... I still look back on it and do nothing but smile and laugh! John and I even did a pre-trip to the two trips PLUS the add on! Crazy stuff. I miss you guys!

I agree. I feel as if special thanks will be in order at her HS graduation. And again in college. And again when she's appointed President of a Fortune 500. I think she'll grow to appreciate us some day. We will definitely be on our best behavior. Because we would never say or do anything inappropriate. Not us. Never!

Mwahahahaha! Mwahahahaha! MWAHAHAHAHA!!! I'm still alive!! *Definitely* Joey! I love this thread!

Chuck, you're a national treasure!

^What he said This is a F A C T !!

I don't remember! I just know we bought it as a joke -- we didn't expect anyone to actually drink it! Good times!

CHUCK!! This is GREAT! You even got me to post... which is as unheard of as -- heck, I don't even know!!. I miss everyone. Except for Joey I miss the trips! So many of my absolute favorite memories could end up in this thread!

I didn't think I could like TDR Pooh any more than I already do. But I'd ride the hell out of Chuck's version!!

It was a tad warm in our room!

I'm pretty sure I heard these words once in a dream like 20 years ago... and never ever again since Always love your TRs, Chuck! I miss Japan. Such a great trip R&E managed! Despite the fact that Japan keeps trying to kill us with typhoons and earthquakes and volcanoes and yakitori and awesome trains and Braddock and the Compass to my Heart and ARGH I love it so much... ... ...
