In 1990, my brother Joel was doing a summer internship in Hamburg, Germany.  Despite having virtually no money to work with, my mother and I decided to go see him.  When we arrived at the airport in New York we found out our flight had been cancelled.  We told the gate agent that we'd take any flight that went to Europe that night and, two hours later, we were off on a trip that would include beer at the Haufbrauhaus and and overnight on the floor of the Munich train station.  After that adventure, I never looked a map the same.

Below you can have a look at the route, map and a brief description of our bigger trips over the past decade or so.  The links on the left of the page will lead you to journal entries, photos and videos from many of these same adventures.
