If there is enough interest in visiting the Bundestag, I will check if they have any tours available that day.

8 P.M Dinner: Will be somewhere in the Potsdamer Platz area.
Location: TBA


Sunday September 21


10 A.M Meet for Brunch Location: TBA

For those who are interested and staying in Berlin a little longer, in the Afternoon we will take the train to visit Potsdam and Schloss Sanssouci( a former Summer Palace by German Royalty)



Where to stay? Every major hotel company has at least one property in Berlin and rates are very reasonable compared to other European Capital Cities. I would suggest staying close to Berlin Mitte, where we will meet for most activities.

How to get there? Berlin has two major Airport Tegel and Schoenefeld most Legacy Carriers fly into Tegel and the low cost ones into Schoenefeld. You could fly into any German Airport and take the train to Berlin.

So, please come and join me for a fun weekend in Berlin. For those interested in staying longer in Germany Oktoberfest will be in full swing in Munich.

If you plan to attend or are interested please post in this thread.

Also, please check this thread frequently as I will add more information as soon as they become available.
