T-12 Days

For 2008, we're going to pick up an X3 for Angela and drive it down to Provence via Zermatt and the Swiss Alps. We're traveling with our friends Adam and Carlisle with whom we have travelled before (Spain, 2006). We had a terrific time on that trip and we thought we'd invite them along again this year. It will be especially fun to have them along since they've moved to California in the past year and we've hardly seen them since they left.

This year, our European Delivery experience will be enhanced by the recently opened BMW Welt. By all accounts it will be a wholly different experience than the delivery center at Freimann, which, let's face it, was pretty embarrassing.

We're not leaving until May 17, but Angela has already laid out most of her clothes for the whole trip.

Tentative itinerary:
17 May: depart USA
18 May: arrive Munich, meet Adam and Carlisle
19 May: delivery day, drive to Davos, CH
20-22 May: Zermatt, CH
23 May: Aix-les-Bains, FR
24-25 May: Juan-les-Pins, FR (25 May, Monaco F1 GP)
26-29 May: Menerbes, FR
30 May: Nice, FR
31 May: reuturn to USA

Angela's got all sorts of stuff planned, like helicopter rides around the Matterhorn, hot air ballooning over the Luberon, perfume tours in Grasse, you name it.
