Traveling From Germany to Luxembourg International Corvette Event
A lot of Europeans will attend this event; only a hand full of Americans from our Corvette Club . We traveling from Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany to Luxembourg Corvette Event:
Saturday. Departure time for the tour is 10 AM. We will leave Luxembourg in groups, and probably like last year the police will escort us, giving our Corvette convoy the priority on all major crossings. We will head to the city of Vianden, one of the oldest towns in Luxembourg www.vianden.lu. Here we will stay for dinner time and will leave later in the afternoon. In Vianden, we will visit the Castle of Vianden in groups, one of the most beautiful castles in Europe. After the castle, a bus is going to bring us to the “Our Dam” an the nearby underground SEO electricity plant, the 3rd biggest in Europe.
Sunday : We will start at 9.30 AM from the hotel to visit the underground fortress of Luxembourg city. In total, there are about 29 kilometers of galleries under the city. We thought that maybe this a bit too much walking for a Sunday morning, so we’re going to visit only the most interesting and accessible part of the galleries. While we’re visiting the galleries and the city, the cars stay a parking place in Luxembourg. After the visit, there is a possibility to have a last goodbye lunch near that parking place.
The package which we offer to you includes a 2-day hotel accommodation with continental breakfast, two dinners including all drinks and cold and hot buffet, a rock ‘n’ roll live band during dinnertime, the entrance tickets to the Castle of Vianden and the fortress of Luxembourg and the bus tickets in Vianden. You will see, this new location where we’ll meet again in 2011 is just the proper place for two unforgettable evenings.

I had a reservation for this year, but I had to cancel because I got a 2 hour notification to get on a plane to work this damn Libya thing. Been working 12-14 hour days for the last six weeks. I was looking forward to the event. Oh well that is the price of being in the Military. I guess I'm fortunate that I get to live in Germany for three years. I hope to make the Valkenburg, Netherlands gathering in July. Post pics so I can see what I missed.

I was stationed at Spangdahlem AB, Germany for a total of 8 years. I loved driving to Luxemburg. The castle in Vianden is amazing and so is Luxemburg City. I would imagine it is pretty tight quarters over there driving a Corvette. I felt like my 96 Trans Am was a boat at times going down some city streets or thru a construction zone. I just stayed in the truck lane for the construction zone if the left lane had a 2 meter width restriction.
I'm hoping you already took your Vette around The Ring (Nurburgring race track near Daun).

Rob,
I was there last year. I 've been on a few events with the BW club.
Edgardo,
I won't be able to make Suhl. Unless Gaddafi decides to quit shelling his people and get the hell out of Libya, I don't think I'll be back home until end of June.
