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.

Now that my accommodation and transport for Vienna are set I also need to:

*get my passport; although we can use our ID cards to travel anywhere in the EU zone, it’s better to have it wt you;

*get travel insurance; instead of spending 2 weeks getting the national insurance card from the company where hubby works, i prefer to pay a small fee for travel insurance; after all i have sold such things myself lol

*plan the budget and start saving EUROS.

*don’t forget to save Forint as well since we need to pay road tolls in Hungary (and the only currency accepted there is the Forint)

*get a 1 GB memory card for the camera

*activate roaming on our cells

*plan the sightseeing days ; allow 1-2 days to visit Schonnbrunn (spelling?)

*visit a bit of Budapest on the way back?!

yes, yes yes I've made the reservations for the room:) Taking my hubby for our 6 yrs anniv to Vienna! How Romantic is that?:)
