I'm wanting to go to see the WWII scenery and memorials. Dad always wanted to go before he died so I figure I will go for the two of us. Maybe leave something of his buried on the beach over there.

Anyways, more than likely I will go by myself. I'm thinking about flying in on a Friday and get to Normandy, spend two days there and then fly out. A 4 day weekend. Is this even plausible?

OH HOW I WISH i could go along. But you have to also visit Belgium and Luxembourg as they were a major part of the European theater. You have to see St Vith, Bastonge and of course you have to visit Patton's grave.

St Vith actually played a larger role in the battle than Bastonge. While it eventually fell, it delayed the northern army for so long and cost them so many men and materials that the attacked stalled not far past St Vith.

Bastonge was isolated and ignored for the most part at first and the southern army advanced much father on their objective. Much of the battle for Bastonge was during the German retreat.
