I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car.

So perhaps next year we can come with many friends? I think that would be fun! I’ve got nearly everything packed. I think we decided to leave in the early afternoon tomorrow. So the kids can still swim tomorrow. We probably will not get home until 1 or 2 in the morning Friday. Too bad it’s such a long drive! But it has been wonderful!
