Vienna:
Sunday, November 17



  • Slow, easy breakfast in the hotel restaurant: the ubiquitous cold ham, cheese, and warm milk - an unhurried packing then on to the subway for the ride to the airport - a change from underground to suburban rail and we're at the airport in about 30 minutes
  • Flight is delayed for two hours - a last minute scurry to spend all the money we have left - Mozartkugeln and liquer in the gift shop - Wade spend the final $10 on two Austrian beers
  • Now the long flight home - several U.S. military folks returning home from a Croatian assignment, one talkative fellow returning home after conducting some business in Hungary and Croatia, a couple who had a similarly strange experience to ours in the Budapest baths at the Gellert - silly movies, average food, and complimentary cocktails ease the 11-hour trip
  • Back in Atlanta and through customs in a flash - Faye and Oliver drive us home where some presents are opened immediately and others stored for Christmas
  • Glad to be home, wish we could go back tomorrow
