Wow, that's interesting. I'd think that would be a bit awkward getting used to them. I know that at one time they were fairly popular in Germany as we'll.

I've never seen them in Germany, but maybe that's 'cause I spent most of my time in the southern
part of the country. I'd always thought they'd be uncomfortable as hell, but the folks over there
say they're not bad. Our 'souvenier' pair is the pair our friend's grandson wore as a kid. There's a
hole in the bottom of one, and almost in the other. So it's obvious they got a lot of wear.

I've seen pics of Germans wearing them in the turn of the last century ie mid and late 1800's and early 1900's

Great little tour, John. Good to see you can get out of the house and spread some domestic money into the foreign economies. It's gotta be better than sitting around brewing, stewing, and thinking of ways to hack people off. LOL!

Ain't that the truth!

We had a super time. I'd do it every year if I didn't have to fly. Every flight seems like the leg
room has decreased by another inch or so.

Been there. every time we fly to Hawaii it seems the cabin space gets more cramped all the time.

But it's always worth it to get there, and more worth it to get home...

I checked to see how much it would cost to upgrade a class. The lady at the counter said I had to do
it 24 hours in advance. For the ride back, I called about 48 hours in advance. She said that since
I'd made my reservations through Travelocity, I'd have to upgrade through them. So we got on the
Travelocity site, but could find no way to do it. When I got home, I looked up the price difference
- almost double the cost to get from economy to whatever they call the next class. Not worth it.

Leaving for NC to see brother. See ya in a few days. He's still on chemo and radiation, so no golf
this trip!
