So hubby confirmed he can get days off starting May 14 (the store has a big inventory on May 13 so our initial plan is dead). Anyway, that means our friends from Bucharest would come by our place and we’d leave for Vienna early on May 17 so that we get there by noon and check in and also visit a bit of the city.

Vienna: May 17 to May 21

Leaving for Arad on May 21; might make a stop in Budapest (i’m hoping) and Szeged (bit of shopping obviously hehe!).

Then we’ll stick around here for a day or two and leave for Bucharest wt them –which is awesome cause i can’t get days off for the vacation but i need to work my weekends in and then figure out what i need to compensate….

And then 2-3 days at MIL’s where i can also work since they have Internet connection.

Crossing fingers and hoping everything will go as planned.
