It has finally hit me that this trip will VERY soon be a reality. I have done a LOT of thinking ( it IS possible LoL ) and have decided on my itinerary up through the end of Pullman City.
This is what I have Come up with ...
Day 1 ( Fri. ) Arrrive 10:45am get luggage go thru Customs and meet the Shuttle will take until noon. 45 minute ride to the dealership about an hour to get the paperwork done and another 30 minutes to get the bike good to go with all my stuff in and on it, Means I won't be ready to leave until around 2:30.
Booked a room in Herzberg which is a 2 hr ride north. That is pretty much All I anticipate being able to do. Will have a decent meal, a drink or three and hit the sheets.
Day 2 + 3 ( Sat + Sun )
Wake up when I wake up. eat breakfast and head out. 2 hr ride will put me in Wolfsburg where I have a room at the Hotel Porsche for 2 nights. This will allow me to take in the 2 Auto Museums and take small excursions to whatever I find around the area OR find a local bar and just chill and engage the locals.
Day 4 ( Mon )
Wake up when I wake up, eat Breakfast and start my trip to Pullman City taking whatever route I come up with and any detours I find Interesting. Straight shot there is about 1.5 Hours So I am sure I will find something along the way.
Day 5 - 9 ( Tues - Sat )
In Pullman City at night and Who knows During the day
Day 10 - 16 ( Sun - Friday )
Will be Determined after talking with Friends ( New and Existing ) I meet with in Pullman City.
Day 17 ( Sat ) is My Bike return date by 2pm ( I think)
Day 18 ( Sun ) Hanging out in Frankfurt
Day 19 ( Mon ) 8:30am Flight Home
I had entertained Ideas about heading North to Denmark and seeing relatives I do not know and have never heard of then I figured ... WHY? I will not beat myself up and wear myself down right out of the gate. The Day 1 schedule is a pretty tough one as it is but I am confident I can accomplish it safely. If I find myself unable to because Of Jet Lag, then I will let the hotel in Herzberg Keep my $50 and I will find something wherever I am.
Wolfsburg is a place I am REALLY looking forward to seeing. The 2 museums there are mostly VW related and I have a love for those odd ball cars! a 60's convertible Ghia is on my list of Must have's and there is a 68 Bug waiting for a V8 Conversion already in my posession. I figure taking 2 days there leisurely taking in what I want to will be a good start to a great trip!
Another place I have my eye on and will try to fit in is Heide Park in Soltau, Lower Saxony. Its about 2 Hrs N of Pullman City and boasts the World's Highest and fastest Wooden Roller Coaster. There are 29 others there to be enjoyed as well. Maybe I can talk a group into going from Pullman City. I think that would be an outstanding day! https://www.heide-park.de/
For now, I am finished with my planning and will now watch as the days go by and the time draws near
