Folks, Apologies for this rather belated offer. Simply didn't occur to me previously. This morning I saw a TV report about the very large number of US travellers stranded here in Europe and elsewhere around the world. I, for one, can offer accommodation and any other other help needed in particular here in the Munich or surrounding areas. I live half way between Munich city and the airport. I know a large number of US bound flights had to return here. The general accommodation situation may not currently be bad - I do not know. As many of you may know, the October festival is due to start Sat. week although there are talks in progress to cancel it entirely given the current situation. In any case, there may or may not be an accommodation shortage depending on a number of factors. Given that transatlantic flights show no sign of being allowed in the following days I can offer those of you have either relatives, friends or colleagues here or in the area that they contact me immediately. I can comfortably house up to six people. I will also gladly pick folks and baggage up as needed. Home phone and cell numbers are noted below. Please feel free to pass this information along to anyone you know is stranded and may need assistance. Best r.
