I would like to take my grandkids to Oberammergau in 2010. My granddaughter also wants to see France. Would it be best to do our own thing or go with a group? I thought about seeing Switzerland, also. My Dad%26#39;s people were from there.

With a youngster, I would not go in a tour group. Too inflexible and usually too %26quot;verbose%26quot;, i.e. the guides cover more things in more detail than a child would appreciate.
Look into lying into an %26quot;open jaw%26quot; flight arrangement, flying into Zuerich and returning from Munich. Then you can go either by train, at least partially, or by car.
Depending how much time you have and from which area your father%26#39;s people are from, take the train from Zueric there, or take the train to Interlaken (Ost) and on to Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen to visit that part of the Swiss Alps. Then take the train to Lindau (Germany) and pick up your car there and %26quot;do%26quot; the parts of Bavaria near Oberammergau - - - Fuessen/Neuschwanstein Castle, Linderhof palace (on the way to Oberammergau), Garmisch Partenkirchen. I assume you don%26#39;t plan to see the Passion Play in Oberammergau (not sure it is on in 2010). It would be quite hard on a child.

From what I have seen, the prices for the tours that include Obereammergau are punitive so I would go on my own.
