I regret to say that my trip to Germany this winter will be cancelled in favor of a trip to Scotland.

I lived in Berlin for 4 years and wanted to go back to see the changes. Now, since I wanted to visit my ancestral homeland at sometime anyhow, that's what I'll do instead.

And I own two VWs with plans on purchasing a third this spring. With one made in Germany and the other in Mexico, I think I'll do well to look at other cars at that time.

Before you buy those tickets to Scotland, do some research. I recall seeing a map last week (can't find it now!) that showed Scotland as at least neutral, if not opposed to us going into Iraq. I think Ireland was with us, but Scotland was not.....

If you will miss Germany, travel to Austria or the NE of Switzerland instead. Same culture, nicer people.

However Scotland is great also, though going in the winter might be less fun.
