World Cup "Roadtrip"

[Czar Jake]

Like I said in another thread, I hope to already be in Italy, so I'll just swing up to Germany and hit the USA games (and probably some Azzuri action too)... but who knows exactly how it will all work out! Anyway maybe I could meet up with whoever is going from here or something...

I could sure get into the idea. I’ve been hoping to get over to Spain to visit a friend anyway.

Hmmm, Two birds.. One stone... Maybe just take the whole summer... OK, now I am definitely dreaming!

But seriously, I am interested. Keep me posted. Thanks.

There is not a minimum number of people but obviously the more people the better deal they offer...

Let's see if they qualify first. [nervous laughter] ... [/nervous laughter]

Anyway, I'll already be in Europe most likely, I'd just have to swing up to Germany... so I don't know if I would want to purchase a travel package.
