Day 05 – Vienna

Can you believe we’re already to Friday?! Man, that time has flown by. The first order of business Friday was to get checked out and stow the luggage for the day. Some lockers at the hostel handled that well. We also got on their computers for a little Internet access. Once we had caught up […]

Day 04 – Vienna

Thursday! For our first (and only) full day in Vienna, we decided that seeing the palace was a good idea. We managed to get there after taking the Vienna subway a few stops. The main palace courtyard had an Easter Market, so we took a little time to wander through that. The zoo was going […]

Day 03 – Salzburg

We started day 3 (this is Wednesday now) with the delicious free breakfast at the hostel. Just as a reference, we stayed at Jufa. That’s the hostel name… it’s a hostel in Salzburg… that’s the city name. Anyway, after breakfast we got all checked out and re-stowed our luggage in the luggage room. We headed […]

Day 02 – Salzburg

Tuesday morning we started our real traveling. Well, after we had gotten the parents checked out of their hotel, brought their stuff to our room, and had breakfast at the dorm (since that hotel breakfast was really expensive!). Once we had done all that, we got down to the train station and caught a train […]

Day 01 – Linz

Alright, first post in the epic parents’ visit saga of blogging travelinesses! I briefly recounted the arrival of the parents last Sunday, but a little more needs to be said, and shown! We caught a ride out to the airport with Mona, one of Mary Jo’s students. The Linz airport is a ways out of […]

Teaser Post

This is just a teaser post. I’m in the process of throwing 3GB of pics and videos up on the web for your future enjoyment. Until then, I offer this travel tip: When going to a McDonald’s with pay toilets, use the bathroom before ordering. I say this because we were in the train station […]

Beginning of the Week

Mary Jo’s parents are here! They flew in on Sunday evening. It’s now Tuesday. We have been doing stuff, but in unual Mary Jo and Will fashion, we haven’t been blogging. Expect some sort of big post later… like next weekend. Today begins our traveling around the country, so there’s going to be a lot […]

Jenna in Vienna

You can thank Mary Jo for that title. I didn’t even realize that rhymed until she mentioned it… Anyway! We got an email from our college friend Jenna that she was going to be in Vienna for a few days. Despite the busy schedule for that week, we planned time. We left Linz right after […]

The Berlin Trip

Hurrah! After days of working on videos and photos, we’ve finally got all the Berlin stuff posted! It’s in reverse chronological order if you read down the page, so here are direct links to the posts. We suggest starting at the top and working down… obviously. 😉 Days 1 and 2 Day 3 Day 4 […]

Berlin (Days 7 and 8)

Day 7 started out the way any good day should: with a trip to KFC. We had a little hankering for home, so we decided to hit the KFC we had noticed earlier in the week. Well, sad news. KFC here is kinda like a chicken oriented McDonald’s. It’s got that same fast food polish […]
