Awesome, big congrats
We're a week away and cringing... We did rent a room in someone's house in Lauterbrunnen, so we can spend more on the rest of the trip. ?Switzerland. Everything here is BTD.
That’s one way to keep costs down.We're a week away and cringing... We did rent a room in someone's house in Lauterbrunnen, so we can spend more on the rest of the trip. ?

Thanks aja, no it isn't and one reason why I didn't get one is because I wanted all wheel drive and the towing package. They don't make them but in two-wheel drive.Nice truck....not the hybrid version I take it?
It is vey good. If not familiar with them they have different modes to use in different conditions. I have only used ECO mode (4 cylinder) and 95% of my driving is Hwy miles.That is pretty amazing you are getting 35 MPG on a non-hybrid version with AWD. I think that is a great looking truck.
We will have a car for 80% of the time. Germany, France, Switzerland and then drop the car in Salzburg. Last 4-5 days, local transport. We've driven other countries but for some reason I feel this trip may be more complex. We'll see.We’

We opted for a hotel in Lauterbrunnen and Airbnbs elsewhere. Cost-wise it comes out about the same.
Eating out is expensive. There are ways to make it less expensive, but we’re ok for the convenience and experience.
And then there’s the trains. Glad we opted for the half fare card. I wasn’t sure at first if it’d be cost effective, but we’ve used it a lot, with the biggest savings for Jungfrau. If you’re traveling by train, then I highly recommend installing the SBB Mobile app. It’s been great for checking out timetables and buying tickets along the way.
Have fun!

Nice job! Keep up the good work!Been buying all new clothes. I have lost a lot of weight since last June. I'm usually happy with a $7 Walmart t-shirt type of guy.
1 Patagonia Fleece Jacket
1 puffer jacket on sale 50% off
4 hiking shorts
4 short sleeve button up shirts
$1000 (all really nice)
7 Walmart t-shirts
$28
I also made many other clothing purchases this week:
undershirts
sweat pants
swim suits
swim shirts
hooded fleece jacket
soft shell jacket
6 t-shirts
$500
Hopefully, I'll be set for a few years. I think the coats will last 10+ years. I replace some 20+ year old items.
We have a CPO 2019 SEL Premium without the 3rd row. DW likes it.Street, I thought about a Maverick. Those are really nice. I also thought about a Mazda Miata convertible, lol, and test drove one, which scratched that itch. I don’t have the knees for how low it is! On Monday, I said bye-bye to my beloved 2006 SAAB 9.3 and acquired a 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan SE. I do like how German cars handle.
What is a Tiguan, you ask? Evidently, it’s a German mashup up of Tiger and Iguana. Haha! What the…?

I love my 2009 Saab 9-3 wagon and am wondering what to replace it with when the time comes, so update us on how you get on with the Tiguan!Street, I thought about a Maverick. Those are really nice.

That is what I wish I had ordered for the increased towing capacity, though I'll admit that the XLT Hybrid that I own rated to tow 2,000 lbs did a good job towing a chock-full 5x8 U-Haul cargo trailer from Florida to Texas recently. I got 24 mpg with the trailer on averaging 65 mph, vs 36 highway mpg without the trailer and 44 mpg around town.Ford Maverick, AWD, 4K Towing. Been averaging 35 MPG.
