Since I booked my Paris-Munich ticket several days ago, at this point there is no changing the fact that I will be going to Munich before anywhere else. My only problem is that I am torn between going to the summit of Zugspitze and going to at least the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart (and by the way mobilebucky, those were some great pictures you posted of the museums). The problem for me, in terms of side destinations, is that in regards to Zugspitze it is essentially the anti-Florida....snow, elevation, etc and then the Porsche Museum from what I have seen appears to be one of the greatest collection of cars ever placed into a building.

It is true, that I would be wasting a lot of time in transit going to Zugspitze (I think DB states its a 3 hour ride from Munich Hbf to the summit), where as Stuttgart is in the direction of travel toward Frankfurt, so that can be accomplished fairly easily...the downside is that I would be leaving Munich earlier to ensure I would get a few hours at the musuem.

One of my options is to play it by year, but not having a rail pass like I did in Switzerland makes me slightly against this idea, since I would much rather pay 49EUR instead of 89EUR for a rail ticket.

Now I just need to sit back and do the tough work of deciding...luckily I do not have a midterm to study for this weekend...
