We are very much looking forward to some quality time for R&R between our stops -- little guesthouses are usually just the ticket for good conversation and quality meals!

Meals are some of the best ways to add authentic culture to an adventure...especially if we can find a favorite local spot with chatty hosts and delightful eats.

We've heard there are still some steam trains running in Deutschland and it would be a dream come true to tour the countryside aboard such a beauty! Of course, we'll probably poke our heads into various museums and libraries and castles galore, too -- can't.get.enough.culture!

Can YOU imagine a better car for our scenic detours? Neither can WE! (Honestly, though, we'd rent a jalopy just as quickly -- it's not about the machine, it's about the memories).

Help us remember what we're missing from our honeymoon to-do list...!

We love to sample local cuisine -- an extra romantic meal might be the perfect way to kick off or wrap up our time together.
