Image via All PostersI'm off to Munich in the morning. Thanks to all of you who sent me ideas for where to visit... Not sure if there will be much time for posting while I'm there, but I'll be sure to fill you in next week!

p.s. -- I've been asked about my strategy for avoiding purchases while in Munich...
Image via Ali's awesome flickrI've actually been thinking a lot about it (surprised?), and while my intention is to stay purchase-free, I'm allowing for some flexibility in the instance that I happen upon something completely delightful and unique that I would have no chance of purchasing in the states.
I'm not seeking this instance out mind you, but rather allowing myself some "wiggle room" if the occasion does arise. I'm also planning to find a little treats for Audrey and Millie, but the souvenirs they tend to love the most aren't purchased anyway -- for my kids, nothing is better than brochures, matchbooks, ticket stubs and all the other remnants of travel
My plan to compensate for any possible purchases is to extend my "no-buy" goal through the end of February...YIKES!

I wish I was going with you! One of my good friends is living in Munich this year doing an internship with a German aerospace company. It's an interesting city - mostly modern post War construction because of the hits it took in WW2. Well, if you get a chance, please drink a Weizen bier on my behalf...
I am so jealous!!
