I'm a little nervous

Whitney, Yvonne and I are heading to Einmeldigen for the next four days to attend the Origins Germany Conference ( http://theoriginsproject.de/en/ ) and I got elected to drive because I know how to drive a stick shift.  Normally I wouldn't mind, I enjoy driving, but I'm a tad bit apprehensive.  Not enough to keep me awake at night, but just enough to keep me on edge today.  Partly it's because I haven't driven in five months.  Partly because the reverse gear is on the opposite side of the whole gear thingy.  But mostly because I've never driven in Europe before.  What if I do something terribly wrong?  

Well...I'm off to face my fears and pick up the rental car...wish me luck.    :)
