I'm going to Germany for the first time! I'm so excited I can hardly stand myself. I land in Munich on March 30 and leave from Berlin on April 16. Germany is where my ancestors were from, and I'm so happy to finally be going there!

Any suggestions on what to see, what not to see, where to stay, and most importantly how to use the public transportation system (trains and buses) will be most appreciated.

This is my first solo trip overseas! As an American woman in her mid- 40's, is there anything special that I should know about in regard to traveling in Germany alone?

Thank you very much, in advance.

Sincerely, Majeba Rawlins, WY
