Bump...
Ok, this might actually be happening, but still not sure if this year or next. I'm thinking June would be a good time to go, but DGF has familial obligations this June. Still to be decided... Any input on best month to go?
On first pass, I'm thinking of flying into Frankfurt, straight shot on AA from DFW. Then, rent a car for some/all of the Romantic Road. Possibly then Munich, and Salzburg. Maybe loop through Innsbruck, then head back toward Frankfurt.
Really would rather spend time in the countryside, and smaller towns, checking out scenery, castles and such, sampling the local [-]beer[/-] fare, maybe doing some day hikes, or short bike rides. Wondering if a train/car mix would be better for these distances, especially if we add any/much Switzerland to the mix.
