I’m currently sitting in the Prague airport taking advantage of their s-u-p-e-r-s-l-o-w internet connection, and I thought I write up a little summary of my trip. But first things first: 1. I am currently sitting next to members of the 2008 USA Paraolympic team. I’m pretty sure they are the archery team who just competed [...]
Good Morning! Well, it’s morning for me. Maybe it’s still late night for you. Perhaps you are enjoying a good bit of Conan (oh wait he’s on earlier now…so Jimmy Kimmel?) or Stephen Cobert. Regardless, I’m about to brave the subway to the airport which is a little out of my 5 stop comfort zone, [...]

Whew, it’s been quite a week! And now it’s late so I’ll just start with how my day began. I woke up this morning and it was raining. The sky was gray and the weather was raw which seemed appropriate for the day I had planned for myself. I got up early this morning, grabbed [...]

Well, today was a big day. Lots to talk about. Maybe even some pictures. But right now I have to figure out how to stuff all this ridiculous stuff I bought into my suitcase. Spatial relations, don’t let me down now.

What a day! After a good night’s sleep, I was ready to let this city sweep me off my feet. It occurred to me this morning that with all these photos of food I’ve been taking, I’ve never taken any pictures of breakfast. And man, is breakfast good. I had a lazy morning today and [...]

So, this morning started…early. Like 4 AM early. And I didn’t go to bed until 1 AM. Because I was too busy frantically trying to buy myself a train ticket for the upcoming crack of dawn. Even the guy at the front desk thought I was nuts. But, I successfully got out of bed after [...]
The hills are alive with the sound of musiccccccccccc. That’s right, I’m in Salzburg. Land of Mozart and Julie Andrews. I can’t believe it’s 11 PM already – the day flew by. Calvin and Annie were gracious enough to let me hitch a ride with them to Salzburg so I didn’t have to take the [...]
*Whoops, my German isn’t as good (bad) as I thought it was. It’s Naschmarkt, not Nachtmarkt. My bad. So today was the whole reason I’m on this trip: work. After all of our galavanting through Vienna, today we went to visit our supplier, buried ourselves in documentation, and worked until our fingers bled. We worked [...]
This morning I woke up before my alarm all proud of myself for, well, waking up before my alarm. I made my way downstairs relatively early to enjoy me some good Austrian breakfast. And man was it good. It was buffet style so I made a couple (or 3 trips). Started off with just some [...]

It’s been a long day. I haven’t had a proper sleep in about 36 hours. It’s been fun though, so no complaints here. We arrived at the airport and quickly got a taxi to take us to the hotel. There are 7 of us plus a baby and surprisingly everything went pretty smoothly. Having a [...]

I’m in Vienna! I don’t have much time. We just got here an hour ago. It’s 4:20 AM EST, but it’s 10:20 AM here so we’re off for some sight seeing adventures. The plane ride wasn’t too bad after the first two hours when small child was screaming holy heck. I then spent the remaining [...]
I’m going to Vienna today. Not Vienna, Virginia. Vienna, Austria. I’m going for work, because my job is awesome like that. I’m going to stick around afterwards for a bit and hit up Salzburg and Prague. I’m still debating the Sound of Music tour in Salzburg, and my itinerary is wide open for Prague. Any [...]
