Dates have been set. Places have been locked down. Tickets have been purchased. Mom and I are spending two fun-filled weeks in Europe this May. She's going to fly to LA, and then together we are going to fly to Vienna. I know it seems odd for her to fly here and then back across the country, but there were reasons. We couldn't find any flights that connected us before we got to Vienna. Plus, if she flew out of STL, she'd have two layovers which is just annoying. So, we found her a flight to LA to come hang out the day before and the day after our European adventure.
So....we'll be flying from Los Angeles to Vienna. Spend four days in Vienna and then we'll take a boat an hour down the Danube to Bratislava. We'll spend a three-day weekend in Bratislava relaxing and enjoying the smaller town sort of life. From there, we'll take a three-hour train ride to Budapest where we'll spend four days before flying back to Los Angeles.
I'm so excited for all three places. Usually on a trip, there is one place that I'm looking forward to more than the others, but this time I'm excited equally about all three. That should make for a great trip!
Stay tuned for more details and I'll be posting during the trip like I did last year. It seemed to be a big hit with the friends and family back home. I'm also going to try my best to not get robbed this time! ug! Hopefully that works out for me!
Next on the agenda is to book the hotels. Usually, I like to just play it by ear on these trips, but I was given some great recommendations by travel buddies so I think I'm going to plan ahead this time.
