What's the best form of transportation in Germany? Should we bring a car or just travel by train?

I am German and married to an AF member. If anyone has any questions about restaurants sight seeing travel work culture or anything else concerned Ramstein or life in Germany feel free to write me!!!
We are moving to AvianoItalyin a few weeks and i know how helpful such information can be. Without the help of others you pretty much dont know anything about the place until you get there and then take lots of time to get to know the area.

We found out last minute that we would be moving to germany. up until july we were moving to alaska and had everything set up to be going there?¢‚Ǩ¬¶then our info got switched last min to move to germany. kaiserslautern is what the orders said. Since it was such a quick last minute thing the military took us through the steps super quickly. had to do the efmp screening and do doctors visits and ft campbell handled EVERYTHING for us. it was such an easy process and not even stressful. the most stressful thing for us was getting our car to stlouis to ship out! We ended up getting here to germany sept 6th. 12 hrs of traveling hell. We have a small dog and she ended up flying with us?¢‚Ǩ¬¶had to have all of her shots and rabies within 30 days of flying. When we got to the airport in frankfurt we had to wait for 6 hours upstairs for the buses to come..it was hot and miserable and completely pointless..like all of the waiting in the military lol. Our sponsor got us from the buses and took us to our hotel off post.
Finding housing for me was actually super easy. we decided to live off post for the experience. My husband had been stationed in weisbaden so speaks german pretty fluently, so that made the decision pretty easy for us. We did alot of looking on ahrn.com for housing and they had beautiful options, but every time youd go to look the landlords would have 5-10 other people looking at the house set up for the same time so if you didnt have a contract in hand ready to sign and run with then you were screwed out of a nice house off post. I had met a girl from ramstein bookoo who told me she was moving across the street and that we should come look at her house. we did and fell in love with it. We live in a small village called gries, about 5 mins from miseau and 15 from ramstein where my husband works. Its an old farm house built in 1902 that has cows and horses and sheep as my neighbors..weird since we both live in stlouis city! We love it here and the people around are really nice.
The food in germany is AHHHH MAZING. We live 3 doors down from a bakery..you can smell it every night and morning cooking down the street. delicious. Also the doners?¢‚Ǩ¬¶yum. lamb meat and all the yummyness. I wish they had that in the states. But on the other side i miss good chinese food and sushi from the states as well as WALMART. Ramstein is a big base and has everything you need as far as staying home but to us its much better living off post and getting to know the german side of thing. It would be terrible to live in germany for 3 years and not experience the real germany.
I am a hairstylist and have been building clientelle here slowly off of bookoo and ramstein underground and also through word of mouth. Other than that i stay at home and hold down the fort.

We moved to Ramstein in 2006. It is a really beautiful base and there is a lot to do with and without kids there. The people are so very friendly and the food is the best. Not to mention the wine and beer. There are a lot of fest in each of the towns during the summer and fall and also the most wonderful Christmas markets that run from after Thanksgiving to Christmas!
