JimBee Posted April 3, 2009 Hello, everyone. I'd just like to say that I will be away to Europe for a couple of weeks. I'll be going to Austria, Italy, and Croatia for sure, and possibly some other countries. The main reason that I'm going is mostly to visit my grandfather one last time, but also to see the eastern world. If anyone has any questions, I'll be glad to answer them, or if you just want to comment, that's fine too. Try not to miss me too much. Thanks, JimButcher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soc399 Posted April 3, 2009 That sounds like a great trip! I love Italy and Austria, but I've never been to Croatia. Make sure to eat lots of food for me. I'd be interested to hear what Croatian cuisine is like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bricks Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) Enjoy your time in Europe! And if you are in southern Germany you can visit ''Germanys biggest single-trader'' for LEGO. Make sure to give us some photos from your trip... 'Bricks' Edited April 7, 2009 by Bricks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimBee Posted April 8, 2009 Thanks for the comments, everyone. That sounds like a great trip! I love Italy and Austria, but I've never been to Croatia. Make sure to eat lots of food for me. I'd be interested to hear what Croatian cuisine is like. Will do. how do you know its the last time? anyways, have fun, europe is very nice around this time. i went to amsterdam at this time last year and it was perfect weather Well, my grandfather is getting older, and it's getting harder for us to visit each other. It's possible that I will see him again after this, but going to Europe again in the near future is out of the question (due to the cost). The eastern world? It's all western countries you are talking about here....oh you are Americain, never mind. Have a great trip man! Thanks, CGH. And now, I'm ready to leave. We're leaving tomorrow morning (central time), so goodbye one last time, until two weeks from now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oky Posted April 21, 2009 I see you're back! So... How was it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimBee Posted April 25, 2009 Nope, now I'm back. My relatives had a computer and internet access, so I thought I'd go onto EB for a little. It was really great, and I was glad to see my grandfather (AKA C-3PO, English-German-Slovenian-Spanish relations) again. We (my family and I) went to Austria (where he lives), and climbed a mountain, and did other things. We also went to Italy, specifically Venice and Tuscany (which were both spectacular) for a week. We flew in and out of Munich, Germany, but didn't really see the city this time. Slovenia was another country, but only for a day. Nobody was there, as ski-season just ended. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to go to Croatia. So yeah, it was great (except maybe the trains...). I'll put some pictures up on my Flickr soon.

Erdbeereis Posted April 26, 2009 when your plane will fly above geneva, say me "hello" ^^ He's back already silly. Glad to hear you enjoyed it Jim, what was wrong with the trains? I always love riding the trains in Europe (at least the ones I've ridden in Germany and Italy). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimBee Posted April 27, 2009 Sorry, Guss, too late. Thanks, Erdy. I don't like the trains because I think that they're not easy, with changing times and platforms, and getting off at the wrong stop. Last time we went, we got on the wrong train and got stuck in a train station for four hours, and didn't get back to Austria until 2 in the morning. I know it's not really anybody's fault but ours, but I just think a car is much better because you control where you go. Other than that, though, it was great. I'll try to get some pics from the new camera up this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One thing I do like about trains is that they are usually quite smooth rides compared to driving. I look forward to seeing your pictures! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
