Trip to Germany and England

This was not a camping trip with our Scamp, but we did spot several campers in Europe! Since two of our sons currently live in Stuttgart, Germany, we decided to go visit them. Flights from Atlanta to Stuttgart ran about $1100 per person though! We found flights on Google flights for $440 from Baltimore to Munich. This worked for us since we could visit our families up in DE, jump on the airplane in Baltimore, and then tour Munich at both ends of our trip. The strangest part of the flight pricing was that the $440 flight from BWI actually put us on the $1100 flight from Atlanta! Trains are frequent between Munich and Stuttgart so that's how we got there. Had a great time visiting, and while there we all took a cheap flight on Ryan Air to England for a weekend, reliving old times from when we were stationed there with the Air Force. On our way back to the USA, we spent the night at a hotel in Munich, which allowed us to spend the previous day visiting the Dachau concentration camp, and the Christmas Market, and then catch an early flight back to the USA.
