I'm going to Germany this winter (during New Years, and after Christmas), and am taking my niece. And it's my 50th birthday. I lived in Goeppingen as a child, and would like to plan a trip where we can ski in the Alps, stop in at Goeppingen, and end up in Berlin for New Years. Don't think I have time to plan a trip like this. Any one know any good, reliable travel planners/agencies in the DC metro region that could plan something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

You might want to post this message over on the U.S. boards as well.

Underhill, He already did yesterday. They told him to go post on the Europe board -LOL.

I'm not sure why you need someone local to you. Is that because you want to meet with that person face to face?

And how much is (not) "an arm and a leg"? Just curious, how much do you pay (per hour, in particular) to get your hair cut/done - - just for comparison sake?

Is that "an arm and a leg"?

I might actually do it for free, just for the fun of it, but I would have about $250 out of pocket expense to come visit for a day with you.
