And any recs while we're there? My boyfriend's parents are going to Oktoberfest this year and we'd like to join them for a few days. We'll be flying out of the NYC area. Can anyone recommend a trusted package or package dealers? <br> <br> If not, any tips to keep costs down? We usually stay in (European) 3 to 3.5 star hotels, hostels or camping isn't what we're looking for. <br> <br> Also, if there are tents you'd recommend, that would be great. We're in our 30s, and his parents are in their 60s, we're not looking for spring break or geriatric atmoshphere. <br> <br> Anything else you'd recommend in Munich during Oktoberfest? I think one way to keep costs down would be to just stay in/near the city.<br> <br> Thanks! tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.84882 Thu, 28 Feb 2008 13:44:01 -0800 Munich Oktoberfest traveldeals cestmoi15 http://ask.metafilter.com/28695/Homeward%2DBound%2DIII%2DThe%2DIncredible%2DJourney%2DOf%2DCheapskates I saved a puppy from certain death. Now I need help getting home for the holidays. Is it possible and cost-effective to travel from Baltimore, MD to Kalamazoo, MI using only public transportation? Quick summary: I found a puppy, couldn't keep her, she ended up in Animal Control, I found someone to adopt her, but it took $310 to save the puppy from being put down so she could go her new home. This leaves me with approximately $200 to work with to get myself from Baltimore to Kalamazoo, leaving around the 23rd (minus a few days is OK) and coming back around January 6th (again, plus or minus a few days). Airplane tickets are prohibitively expensive, as are Greyhound and Amtrak. <br> <br> A friend's success at traveling from Baltimore to New York City using Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey public transportation has inspired me. Perhaps I could create some kind of crazy multi-state bus, subway, and light rail itinerary that would get me where I need to go, or at least to Ann Arbor where I could catch a ride. But how? Where do I begin? Has anyone had experience doing this? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.28695 Thu, 08 Dec 2005 11:33:49 -0800 animalrescue cheaptravel holiday holidaytravel publictransportation puppies travel traveldeals schroedinger
