Departure Day! Everyone gets ready to set off for Germany!

I'm really jealous of all of you. After several months of preparation, I have to stay behind, waving as you take off on the 14th for a great time. Enjoy the Seehasenfest and everything that comes in the first week and a half. But I know my time will come, when my wife and I "tag team" slap Mr. Farris on the 24th.
It's been surprisingly fun fielding the daily questions I've been getting. How many bags should I pack (they have washing machines in Germany, too, so I say 1 plus your carryon)? What gift should I get my family (anything will be appreciated)? What's my host family like (sorry, haven't met them)? Not sure all my answers have helped.
Doesn't matter ... it'll be here before you know it and over nearly as soon. ENJOY AND MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY MINUTE!!
