So far, every single logistical aspect of our trip has gone perfectly smoothly, which is due entirely to our wonderful local hosts. So, we kind of took it for granted that even though we didn't have specific information about where we were staying in Baden Baden for the Southern German Orthopaedic Congress, things would just get sorted once we arived. Keep in mind that this is a very large convention (sort of like the German version of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Annual Meeting) in a very small city, and hotel space is at a premium. Turns out, we didn't actually have hotel reservations, so we just hung out in the convention center drinking coffee and goofing off, while our two knights in shining armor, Dr. K from Berlin, and Dr. S-B (Hi Klaus!) from Cologne, found us the last three hotel rooms in Baden Baden, not to mention a dinner invitation. Vielen Dank fuer Ihre Hilfe!
Given the circumstances, you all seemed to be in remarkably good spirits.
