Taking A Night Flight to Vienna on Wednesday

We have been sweating it out recently when GoNOMAD went down and we had many upset people who could not get email. We worked with our Texas-based host and we got it back working, and now I can breath a sign of relief. Just in time because tomorrow at 6:05 pm I fly from JFK to Vienna.

I remember the last time I went to Austria, it was with Cindy. We hiked the Alps in Innsbruck, and both enjoyed the wonderful sense of humor of the Austrians. Funny little signs and things they’d say. Our guides told us that the Germans sometimes didn’t understand their jokes…but since the number one country that sends tourists there is Germany, they had to keep that secret.

My trip will take me to the city of Graz, a university town in the middle of the country, in Styria. I meet up with five other writers for the first part of the trip, then I take the train next Monday up to Linz. In Linz there is a famous museum of modern computer style art…and I also hope to spend time in Kitzbuhel, in the mountains. I am inquiring at this late hour with a few farms that have agritourism, that seems like a fun place to spend a night. I will be taking a Eurail pass with me, so I can get on and off the trains when I like.
