Hello family, friends, and acquaintances! I am starting a blog to most effectively chronicle my travels in Europe this summer beyond random Facebook posts. I hope you won't find it overly narcissitic. ;) I will try to post pictures, summaries, and discussion as frequently as I can but am limited to only a iPod Touch, Wifi, and hostel kiosks.
I won't detail my travel plans for you yet because much is tentative and there could be many surprises along the way. In general, I will be likely circling from Vienna through southern Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, northern Europe, the Czech Republic, and then back to Vienna in time for my July summer lab course at the Technische Universität Wien. Some parts I will inevitably be alone, but for much of the trip I will be meeting up with distant family, traveling friends, European friends, and of course plenty of strangers!

Der erste Tag!
There isn't much to talk about from today; I was too busy and jetlagged while trying to get myself oriented in Vienna to take any pictures. It was quite damp and overcast here, anyway. Via an 8.5 hour flight from O'Hare to Zurich and a 1.5 hour flight from Zurich to Vienna I have jumped ahead 7 hours. After some additional hours of wandering around and hunting down Wifi, I was able to drop off school-related material at TU Wien and get checked into the Wombat hostel. And to really kickstart my Austrian experience my first dinner was... Chinese takeout. Well, I was famished and it was the closest and cheapest thing! Chicken and rice, mmmm.....
Apparently there is a lot of flooding in western Austria and southern Germany which could really disrupt my plans. Tune in next time!
I think this BLOG is a great idea . Have fun and be safe .. Xo Aunty
