So I found out some more details. I have a few options as far as reimbursement and my room goes. I can find a place that I pay for myself and get reimbursed, have them make reservations, or I can get paid upfront for whatever length at a time. There will be two of us going but I don't know if the other guy will want to travel on the weekends or anything but I imagine we will have a decent time. I have all my information for my passport ready and it gets sent to the expediting company that we use on Tuesday. I wish I had an endless wallet to go with but I should still have a pretty good time. All meals paid for and all makes it nice. I hope I end up getting a decent car while I am there, maybe and Audi or Beemer. Work is supplying me a global phone to take with me, so I don't have to worry about that. I don't plan on taking too many electronics, maybe just the laptop, camera, electric razor. I don't think I need much more than that, probably the Ipod. I was considering taking my Xbox with me since I will more than likely be bored some evenings but I don't know it seems wrong to take it with me to Germany. I have been considering taking all of my bike gear with me but that will take up some luggage space but I do plan on renting a bike for atleast a weekend at some point during my stay. I am hoping for some good food and beer that will be well free once the company pays me for it. Anyone know if I will be able to watch NFL games while over in Germany, my guess is probably not but I can only hope. I am going to miss that and riding my bike for the rest of the season. What are you talking about with the International Driver's License? I read that you can use your US license for up to 6 months while in Germany.
