So this past fall was the sixth year straight that I’ve attended the World’s largest festival — Oktoberfest in Munich. I’ve been accompanied on these Oktoberfest by a varying number of friends over the years — this year was no exception, as there were six of us including my fiancé, who was making her…
We arrived at Dulles much later than previously planned due to some absolutely terribly weather in Washington, DC. What usually is about a 75-90 minute trip to Dulles via taxi and the 5A bus, turned into a 3:15 nightmare of a trip from our home in Dupont Circle out to Dulles Airport. Luckily, we had…
My favorite trip of the year is always my annual pilgrimage to Munich for the World’s largest festival — Oktoberfest! This coming year will be the sixth year in a row that I’ve attended the Wiesn in Germany, so I’ve learned on the fly, but at this point, I think I know what I’m doing pretty…
For the first time in four years, I opted to stay at a hotel for Oktoberfest not named Four Points Sheraton Munich Central. And the result? A mixed bag, really.

I’d initially planned to publish trip reports as I went on this trip, but after a pretty intense first few days of Oktoberfest in Munich, that whole…
As I previously wrote, I will be embarking on a two-week journey around the World starting tonight. While I’m meeting twelve other friends in Munich, two of them will be joining me for our exploits in Asia. Though we all have somewhat different flights, we all did manage to get on the same THAI flight…

A week from today, I will be embarking on another around the world adventure — this time it will include a stop at one of my favorite places in the World — Munich during Oktoberfest. The Oktoberfest trip is one that I’ve taken the past four years, so it was a no-brainer to book a fifth…
