When you do that, drop me a line. I am not too far away from there and
perhaps there is a chance to show you that GA is not THAT bad in
Germany after all...

Hey, GA is wonderful EVERYWHERE. It's just the damned cost of it that
sucks!

:-)

Thanks for the offer, though. I don't know when we'll get back, but it'll
hopefully be in the next two years. (We were hoping to go back next year,
but that's looking less likely since the bottom dropped out of our economy.
It's not a good time to own a hotel, that's for sure...)

One bright note: A few months ago, it cost over $200 to fill the "Mighty
Grape's" 55 gallon transfer tank full of mogas. Today, after a flight to
Wisconsin, it cost just $98 -- an incredible savings! Fuel now costs less
than half of what it did this summer, which SHOULD help to revive GA (and,
hopefully, or economy).
