It looks like just a normal Friday...
And it is! But the weekend is not normal because it's the first weekend in a long long time that I don't have to work! Monday is a holiday, so I don't have to work then either! Lincoln will have to do some stuff from home, but unfortunately that's become the regular thing right now, so I'm not going to dwell on it. Anyway, I needed to share my excitement, because I want to believe this is the first weekend of a few wonderful months to come. Months, full of warm weather, outings with the bikes or to the beach, free weekends and finally... a trip to Austria (and Croatia)! It's been a year and a half since we've gone to Austria last and it will be over 3 years since we've been to Croatia. Years! I am having spontaneous visions of me on the beach or Veronika in a cute bathing suit or all of us downing gallons of really good ice cream in downtown Vienna. I. CAN'T. WAIT. I am addicted to refreshing this site (live webcam of a spot on the island Cres) every few hours and I just can't believe my luck!
Now the only little piece in this blissful puzzle is that I am to obtain plane tickets that will take me from JFK to VIE for under $1,000/person and it is not looking good. Oh, I will go this summer, nothing will stop me, the question is only how much financial pain will I be enduring. Every night I think what shameless robbery of poor little families who just want to go see their relatives and look cute in their Blue's Clues swim suits. There should be a clause - real tourists should pay, but real Europeans should not! At least not $1,000. Well, whatever, I had to whine a little. It's not like I didn't know what it would cost. I will just have to make it through this phase of price comparing and watching in terror as I refresh pages and all of a sudden the price was increased by several hundred dollars or all the waiting lists are closed or worse even, Austria will be closed! They will close the mountains and the sound of music! If I don't pay! See, that's how they get you. Wouldn't you shell out a three grand just so they don't close the Mozart and the Edelweiss?

I'm so seethingly jealous!
Oh, I'm jealous. I still haven't been to Cres, but I'd love to see it.
Lol, This is too funny, Zanoni's my favorite ice cream place as well!!! The weather's amazingly beautiful here right now, I hope it lasts. Wish you lots of fun in Vienna (we just spent a couple of beautiful but hot days there)! :)
I have just been to Austria in May .. but god do I want to go again. :)
It doesn't even seem real that we went.
I wish you LOTS of fun. If you go in July or August make sure to go to the international food festival in front of the Rathaus. Yummy. :)
