I’ve been typing that previous post in Word and it was nearing two pages in length, so I decided to break up the post into two separate ones so…I have no good reason why. Anyways…I slept in late this morning. When I woke up, my window was open, cool air was streaming into my room, [...]

Ok, I’m back to recap to you my exciting travels of the past two days. My nose has stopped running like a leaky faucet and I appear to be able to stay up past 10 PM, so things are looking up. Yesterday we got to see a whole bunch of stuff. Unfortunately, most of the [...]

Between the weather, the lack of vegetables, the aches, and the fact that a few of us have come down with clothes, I think most of us are ready to leave Vienna. I’m heading to Munich tonight and I excited for the change of scenery. I’ve got a nasty cold that’s been kicking my butt, [...]

That’s right, the clock is rounding 12:30 AM and I’m pleased to say I’m still awake. Hopefully I finish writing this post before I fall asleep, but no promises. Today we finally got to our finished product; the whole reason we’re here in Vienna. We spent a lot of the day playing with our big, [...]

Let’s just say the hotel rooms are…a little warm. We’ve all turned our heat completely off and have been sleeping with the windows open, but man, the temperature in this room is HOT. In other news, the floors of the bathroom are heated which one wouldn’t normally think about, but once you’ve experienced it, I’m [...]

Made it! Back in Vienna, pooped but excited. All and all, the trip wasn’t too bad. The lovely Andrew dropped me off at the airport and apparently with my big sweatshirt, my big jacket, and windpants, I look like a hooligan. I managed to make it through the ticketing line alright, but before going through [...]
I’m heading out shortly for a week-long trip to Vienna and Munich. It’s mostly for work, but I plan on having some fun along the way too. There will be incessant updates of every minute detail of my day, so be on the lookout for that. But, before I go, I just have to leave [...]

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 [...]
*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 [...]
