I had a great trip with brother Dave touring Paris, Normandy, Amsterdam, Luxembourg, Bastonge, Kaysersberg and Heppenheim. It was great to see two very important spots in our Dad's war service, to be able to walk on the same ground, see the same terrain and know how he contributed to the Liberation of France and the destruction of the third reich.
It was also great to spend two weeks with my brother,
on the same train, in the same car, 
at the same table, in the same hotel room, sharing a bathroom, no one to run interference or act as a buffer and not kill him or be killed by him. 
Oh we growled at each other a couple times, but for two guys with 47 years of ideosyncracies (his are way more annoying than mine) since our last trip together, 
we managed to tolerate each other very well, 
a lot like those two guys who went to Port Jefferson all those years ago, not just brothers but friends.
Thanks Dave for coming along. It was great to have such a good companion to share the experience with. And thanks Lil and Carrie for letting us go. It was the experience of a life time for us (and a good two week break for you). We owe you both.
Oh, by the way, I recommend to any of you traveling to Germany to try some Weiner Schnitzle, those schnitzengrubens will kill you.
