How to partake in Oktoberfest in Germany
It made me
Vivacious! 
"Absolutely brilliant!"
How I did it: I bought a flight way in advance so that I had no excuses. This is one of those things that you can either talk about doing or do, right? Book travel and accomodation and don't let anyone talk you out of it. If you love beer, this is a must-do. I usually like to travel alone, but this is one event that is a lot better with a group for a host of reasons.
Lessons & tips: Get reservations at the beers tents (and this most be done well in advance), huge pain without them.
Resources: PPTravel, Google them and stay at the Senator.

I put a deposit on a hotel for my brother and I for this year. Barring any set backs, it is on!

...after reading about one person’s experience at the Oktoberfest in Germany, and how it was more of a chance for the older, less classy folks to pack on makeup and dress in strange clothes, I thought, “Maybe this isn’t really one of the mere 43 things I would like to accomplish before I leave this life.” Maybe one day, I’ll visit my Germany and see where my family started, but the Oktoberfest is not at the top of my list.
DO IT!

I lived in germany for about six years…I’m from there actually. Its where I consider home anyway. This is something that people should totally do. And not just because its a chance to have a chug but the people there are great. The events are so much fun. Enjoy it!

Yep, that is me. I am an official Oktoberfest girl.
Not quite what I expected (I went on a roller coaster there!) but it was a blast nonetheless!
Oktoberfest is a Blast!

I started going to Oktoberfest years ago – I loved it so much, I decided to start bringing small groups of other Americans along with me. It can be such a complex task to find reasonable accomodations and get reservations in the beer tents, so I’ve put together a package deal for people.
Oktoberfest is more than just a big drunken party if you take the time to explore its finer points a bit deeper. Go earlier in the day and enjoy the people you’re with. Feel free to sit with others – you’ll meet people from all over the world! It is a great experience that you’ll never forget!

I’ve done joined the Oktoberfest festivities many times. Held in Bavaria, and starts in the beginning of September because the weather’s better. Definitely something worth attending. Lots of beer for very cheap!!!
