Itinerary: Take One

Today, I received an email outling our team's itinerary. Although the hosting clubs, vocational and cultural days are laid out on paper, the team has been reminded that this is all subject to change. Reading it makes this opportunity feel more concrete. Our group will travel around District 1850 with visits to Oldenburg, Borkum, Meppen, Cloppenburg-Quakenbrueck, and Bremen. There will also be a short trip to Berlin in conjunction with a visiting Australian GSE team from District 9650, based in New South Wales.

Of what's currently planned, I look forward to going to Borkum, especially the sightseeing flight around the island as well as visiting the Mercedes plant in Bremen.

District 1850


Rotary District 1850 map

While in Germany, I'll travel within Rotary District 1850's boundary. Within it's boundary are Bremen, the hanseatic city-state, the port city of Bremerhaven, small towns like Meppen and Lingen close to the Netherlands border. Recently I submitted my wishlist of places I'd like to see and visit. Sometime next month, I should receive a copy of the itinerary. While on the program, I'll move to a new town every week while being hosted by Rotarians.
