Ok, I have been asked a couple times about my ED (ugh, yeah, that is European Delivery, not the other thing...), so I will post the story here as well:
Ok, an overview of the car in case you haven't read through the whole thread, it is a 2010 A3 TDI with the Titanium Package. We put 2013 miles on the car in two weeks while in Europe. Overall, I think that we averaged around 38mpg over the duration of the trip which included stops in Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy and Austria.
Friday 5/21: Depart ORD arrive at JFK, miss flight to Pisa by literally 2 minutes. : ( Get upgraded to Business Class though on the flight out the next day, free hotel room.
Saturday 5/22: My wife had never been to NYC so we took the subway to downtown and did a bus tour.
The Plaza Hotel from Central Park.
Who doesn't need solar panels on their Maybach!
I am a big Seinfeld fan, and couldn't help but laugh and think of Kramer when I saw this
And then it was out to JFK to hop on an airplane. Champagne awaited us at our seats!
Sunday 5/23: After two hours of sleep awoken to a French Toast Breakfast and I was so stuffed I could barely move, luckily a couple hours later we landed in Pisa, Italy. Immediately off to the Leaning Tower to check it out.
I tried to push it over the rest of the way, but it just wouldn't budge!
Then we took a train from Pisa to Milan, shoved in a small room with 6 other people, during very hot temperatures, miserable!
Monday 5/24: We toured Milan for the day.
There was this castle (I forgot the name).
The Duomo, amazing, I can only imagine the craftsmanship that went into building such a thing
That night we took an overnight train from Milan to Munich, once again MISERABLE! Sweaty and hot, stuck in a room with 6 other people, once again got only about 2 hours of sleep...
