Married To A German :)

Not sure you will be able to get through the airport with many of those things (the mountain dew and cake mix may be a problem as well as the tooth paste).

Never been a problem before. I've been bringing this stuff with me every trip for 4 years. I also usually bring back Mead, since it's so much cheaper at the markets in Germany.

I would like to know what airport you go through then. Here in Atlanta you cant even get up to the screening gates without stripping half your clothes off and throwing every ounce of liquid you "may be carrying" into a large trash can that also happens to be right next to a small tray full of lighters and nail trimming equipment.

In your luggage? That's strange. I've flown through: Seattle, Atlanta, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Berlin, Stuttgart, Munich, and Nuernberg with various items. Never had a problem going through customs on either the European end or the American end.

I guess my wife and I must be one of the lucky couples then. We always get picked for the "additional intense screening" where they take everything out of your bags on a big table.

That sucks, Dr. ZoSo. I've had them go through my luggage before too but it's never been a problem. I don't bring LOADS of it though, so maybe that's the difference.

Of course, now that I've said that...I'll run into trouble on this trip

Where did everyone go? Why has this thread died?

[veronicavonn 7]

I am subscribed to the thread but have been lurking it for a few weeks now. lol

I don't know.. I guess the recent conversations I had nothing to add to.

Shall we change the topic from food to something else?

That is one long list! lol

I should add something to mine.. It pretty much goes along with the "Beer" choice of mine, but, eh.

FESTIVALS.

They are EVERYWHERE. ALL the time. Everywhere. lol

German festivals are great.

Even when the festival is celebrating something to do with the local church (Kerwa), everyone comes together to drink beer.

It's awesome.

PS- I am recovering from a night at the Annafest Festival in Forchheim.

Weisswurst definitely tops my list. And German cake. YUM.

Btw, I leave tomorrow for 2 weeks!
