book flights biz class at least 8 weeks out or they become unfordable if you book out far enough you can get for about 2500.00 each.
also get a account with
www.xe.com
you will save alot of money on the wire tranfers and exchange rate as we saved 1000.00 using them.
hotels depend on where you are having your surgery.
i was in bogen and my wife stayed at the am platz and they found it afordable and the owners were very helpfull also the hospital is in walking distance. oh and its cheaper then the hospitals in straubing as straubing is a much larger town.
hotel in straubing is romemheh {spelling}
owner also very nice and speaks english.
get your self one of those books for tranlators.
also get power adapters at radioshack. there about 40.00 each should only need 2. and if taken a laptop invest in a good surge suppressor.
both hospital rock after seeing straubing hospital i liked the bogen hospital as it need a balcony for myself and wife to step out on to have a smoke.
and your husband will love this they sell beer in the gift shop {grin} i liked that to.
