“If we were meant to stay in
one place we’d have roots
instead of feet.”
– Rachel Wolchin
When it comes to flights, don’t wait for that last-minute sale
– those have gone the way of the dinosaur. Booking less than
7 days in advance will cause you to pay a premium; instead,
buy well in advance and get cancellation and interruption
insurance, and do not forget the medical insurance – it is a
must unless you are independently wealthy and don’t care if
you lose your house or savings to a medical emergency!
If you have your heart set on a spring break or Christmas
holiday, DO NOT WAIT as space is limited. If you wait, it
is usually not going to be what you ultimately want, or could
be so overpriced that you shudder when you give out your
credit card. An experienced, good travel agent that cares about
their clients, can really be of assistance in these cases. Always
remember that you only get what you pay for – life is not a
dress rehearsal, and your life’s passport does not necessarily
have an expiry date! •

What is Oberammergau?
O berammergau is a municipality in the district of
Garmisch-Partenkirchen, in Bavaria, Germany. It’s known
for its woodcarvers and their talented craftsmanship, for its
NATO School, and across the world for its “Oberammergau
Passion Play”.
If you’re visiting Oberammergau in a year ending with
zero – such as in upcoming 2020 – you’re in for a treat.
The play was first performed in 1634 and is the result of
a vow made by residents of the area, that if “God spared
them from the effects of the bubonic plague, then they’d
perform a passion play every ten years.”
The play is seven hours long (yes, with intermissions), and
about half the townspeople (2,000+ villagers) participate
in over 100 performances between May and October.
Hundreds of thousands are expected to attend o ver the
course of those performances.
For more about Oberammergau consult with your
preferred travel agent, who can provide you with literature
and more information.•
