We take a non-stop 11-hour flight from San Francisco International Airport to Munich/Franz Josef International Airport on Lufthansa Airlines. Good food and service – all flight attendants/pursers are completely bilingual in English and German.
After getting our luggage, we head for the public transportation station. The ticket machines are just about as confusing as those at BART in the San Francisco Bay Area. After an eternity, we finally figure things out, make our purchase and board the S8-Bahn for Munich/Munchen. It's a great ride to Munich during sunset and after a transfer we get off at the Oktoberfest grounds. The hotel is fortunately only a 5-minute walk. After checking in, we head out to a local restaurant recommended by the hotel staff and enjoy our first drinks and German food. Locke and I can't believe we are finally here!
