My first look at the itinerary

Well I got my first look at the Itinerary for the event in early May, and saw that the Canada east team was leaving late on the 28th which would mean that I wouldn't have to take another day off work, so this might work to leave the evening of the 28th, as it was another day away from home, but Sharron was willing to allow me to be away for another day. Work would be more difficult, as they had already been very accomidating. So this is what things look like:

Arrive morning of July 29th in Munich Germany, tour of Munich until lunch, after lunch head for downtown Munich for some sightseeing, meet up with the Canadian teams to walk the Hofbrauhaus and then have a buffet dinner and entertainment at Munich Hofbrauhaus.

July 30th we head to Oberamergau, Germany and spend the afternoon, sightseeing around Oberamergau and have dinner at a local restaurant, the evening was free to do as we would like.

July 31st We have the morning free, and then head to Fussen. We have some time on our own to see Fussen, and then go to see Neuschwanstein Castle. The evening of the 31st there is an Exhibition game that I will ref between Canada East and Canada West in Fussen. Dinner at a local restaurant to follow the game.

August 1st The teams are going to Oberstdorf for a practice, not sure if we are going along, but then back to Fussen for lunch and some afternoon sightseeing, and then an exhibition game in the evening between East and West followed by dinner.

August 2nd We leave our hotel and go to Linderhof Castle for a tour on our own. We leave here just before lunch for Hallein, Austria. Stop on the way to Hallein for lunch and then tour the Salt Mines near Hallein. We then stay the night in Hallein.

August 3rd We leave Hallein for a tour of Salzburg. We have a walking tour of downtown Salzburg, and in the early afternoon depart for Prague. We will stop on the way in Ceske Budejovice and dinner at the Budweiser Brewery Restaurant (where else do you go with a bunch of u19 players?) jk. Arrive in Prage that night.

The event itself will be the next posting.
