I took my wife and two teenage children in 1997 on the Mercedes European Delivery Program. We flew into Stuttgart non-stop from Atlanta (Delta still has the flight, I think). Easy cab rides into city and out to the factory/delivery center. Mercedes museum is not to be missed. Driving in larger cities requires concentration as street signs are hard to find and streets can change names for no apparent reason. I will try a GPS system if I ever have to drive there again.

I got German currency at a local bank before I left as the exchange rate was more favorable. Had no language troubles and we stayed in several different German locations.

I want to do it again - maybe with the MB Club of America this fall.

Country is beautiful down there and people were good to do business with.
