The names you mention of place in your thread Fizz its so odd seeing those places as they are now. I've had a real keen interest in WWII since playing with soldier as a kid and its kind of odd hearing the places been mentioned.
Not long back I watch band of brothers for nearly the millionth time and the thought of going into Carantan for beers seems totally alien to me.
I visited Aushwitz this spring, I imagine the memorial was much the same atmosphere. Most bizare thing is the silence, just been there seems to make even the noise of a coach engine seem like a semi-silent drone somewhere in the distance.

eating out round there aint that cheap as it is, try 10E for an omlette...

This is a trip I've been wanting to do for sometime - I'd also like to include some of the 'Band of Brothers' locations - Carentan, Saint Mer-Eglise etc, but- as Fizz has stated around the D-Day date could be a problem.

However, can you add me as a 'possible' ?
