The climate is a lot like Seattle or New England. That time of year is the best, but be prepared for a wide variety of temps, and cool nights. Follow the usual packing tips: non-wrinkling light-weight coordinates, layers, comfy shoes, and remember your appliances won't work on their current. You're better off not bringing them, but if you must, bring a converter. Fashions are pretty much the same all over the western hemisphere, so don't worry about that! Do a search on packing at this site, there have been numerous discussions. Have a great trip!<BR>

We were in Munich/Salzburg area last September, and it rained almost every day. The young Austrian couple we stayed with told us that "there is never bad weather, only bad clothes."<BR><BR>Our pocket unbrellas didn't hack it. Neither did our shoes. Bring appropriate rain gear -- maybe you will be lucky and it won't rain.

Ellen,<BR><BR>You pack the very same for 2 weeks, or 3 weeks, as you do for one week. Plan to do laundry in your hotel bathroom.<BR><BR>I agree with wunderbar regarding doing a search on packing. Tons of tips and information. <BR><BR>Remember, a 22" roller bag and 1 carry-on shoulder bag per person is all you need or want.<BR><BR>Enjoy Germany!<BR><BR>Dick
