<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Our night did not go as
planned.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>As everyone was getting ready
for bed, Cherie began feeling sick.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Within an hour she was in the bathroom. She had a miserable night, in
and out of the bathroom.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Since we were
in a triple room, we could hear her, thus not sleeping well ourselves.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Cherie was in bed when we left this
morning.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We felt horrible about leaving
her like this, but at least friends are nearby if she needs help.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We hope after sleeping most of the morning
she will be feeling a lot better by check-out time.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We told them at the hotel desk that she may
need a late check-out time.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">We had no problem getting to the airport, returning the car
and getting to our gate, etc. The airport was busy, but not congested at this
time of the morning.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Chicago here we come!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We are seated in the front row of the Premium
Economy section, which is wonderful – so much leg room! <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike>Rachel Litwillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04241686171723340455noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021444986025422753.post-31653527292695473102019-01-07T07:01:00.000-06:002019-01-07T07:01:13.630-06:00<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Thursday, January 3, 2019: St
Valentin back to Bratislava:<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></b><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">We were not pushed to get on the road early this
morning.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Our first destination is the
Melk Abby where public tours begin at 11:00.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>After a leisurely breakfast we drove to Melk. Melk is where we stayed
for New Year’s Eve, but the following morning we did not want to wait around
until 11:00 am for a tour Jan 1.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">The Melk Abby is a “must see” if you are in the area.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Our tour guide spoke wonderful English, and
she was extremely knowledgeable.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>There
is so much history to be discussed, with displays and models to show the
changes through time.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The Monastery/Abby
was begun by St. Benedict in 1089. The current Abbey (Monastery) is home to 30
monks ranging from 22 to 97 years old.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>The Abbey has 500 rooms, of which all are used. They have a school for
900 local students and 100 teachers.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The
church is one of the most magnificent we have seen on this trip.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Everything seems to be “dripping” with gold.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>They have huge libraries, which at one time
housed the original Guttenberg Bible, before it was sold to raise needed funds for
restoration.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The Bible is currently at
Yale University.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>This is an impressive
edifice overlooking the village of Melk and the Danube River. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Our next destination was Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Thanks to Google Maps we drove directly to
the Palace. By the time we arrived it was blowing snow.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Luckily, we found a parking spot within easy
walking distance. The earliest tour of the Palace was 3:20, giving us plenty of
time for strolling the Christmas market located in the large courtyard in front
of the Palace, in the snow.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">We were pleased to know the Palace tour is self-guided with
the help of free audio players.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>There
was a crowd going through the Palace, but you could spend as much time in each
room as you needed.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It is a beautiful
Palace with all the history of the Habsburg dynasty.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We bought tickets for the Grand Tour,
enabling us to see more than the ceremonial rooms.</span></div>

had accumulated, and it was still coming down. Again, the streets were
congested, but with the help of GPS we got out of Vienna as quickly as
possible.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We did not know what we would
encounter on our drive east to Bratislava, SK, but we drove out of snow very
quickly.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

Qatar, so we needed to stay in a hotel this time while in Bratislava.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We drove directly to our reserved hotel, just
down the street from our friend’s apartment.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Our last meal was eaten at the same restaurant we had our first dinner,
after arriving in Europe.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The Loft Hotel

planned. </span></div>

Music locations, several churches, several shopping areas/Christmas markets,
several square/plazas, and several locations dealing with Mozart. Salzburg is
still marketing Sound of Music!<span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"> We
asked Google about driving routes to explore Austria.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We left the A1 autobahn to drive through the
countryside. We began by exploring the town of Steyr.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The Christmas Market was over. Only the
little shops and ice-skating rink were left in the center of the town.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We were so surprised with Steyr.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Many of the buildings in the center of town
had beautiful architecture – Sound of Music style. This town exceeded our
expectations. By the time we left Styre we were able to enter the 3 central churches.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>This is a contrast to Romania, where churches
were closed, to our disappointment.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The
interior of each church was different, but each was beautiful in their own way.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>After Styre, we continued in the
general direction of Salzburg, but taking the scenic route, stopping at several
small village on the way. There is snow in the higher elevations and we have
seen several ski slopes with people skiing, as well as areas where they are
cross country skiing.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We drove through
several towns that were obvious tourist and ski centers, but we decided to
continue without stopping.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We made reservations at a hotel in
the small town of St Wolfgang.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Except
for the fact that the hotel was reasonably priced, we were not planning to stop
in this lake-side town.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>However, St
Wolfgang surprised us.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The town has
turned out to be a wonderful place to stay, with the hotel located on the main
street in a very cute town center. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Bus
tours stop in St Wolfgang as the buildings are attractively designed with nice
shops.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The old town church is unusual as
it does not have a center aisle and for a small town it is very ornate.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Yesterday was the last day for their Christmas
Market, so all the small booths are closed, and they are beginning the
dismantling process. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Another attraction
is an extensive set of carved, life-sized figures, depicting people from all
walks of life from this area, coming to worship at the manger scene with the
Holy Family.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The display includes at
least 50 figures. We are glad we stopped here.<span style="margin: 0px;">

Bucharest, Romania to Vienna, and on to Melk, Austria: Happy New Year’s Eve</span></b><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Our time in Romania is over.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It was so good to see the former exchange
student and her family in her country and experience a Romanian Christmas with
them.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We enjoyed their traditions, and
most of their traditional foods – they use fish in many ways, and we are not the
biggest lovers of fish. Her extended family made us feel very welcomed. It is
always interesting to be able to hear from a local about their politics and
government, knowing it is from their viewpoint.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Also, they showed us places in their part of Romania before we ventured
out on our own to other parts of Romania.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Most of the time there was a lovely winter landscape with
snow, especially in the mountains. The white snow kept things bright, as the
sun eluded us almost the whole time.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>But
I’m not sure Romania isn’t one of those countries to visit in the summer,
especially Transylvania where there are green rolling hills.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Part of the charm of Romania is how it is
somewhat set in time. As you drive through the countryside you see flocks of
sheep with their shepherd, farmers using horse drawn carts/wagons, hay stacks
in the small fields, many wooden churches in villages, monasteries tucked into
valleys, and lots of lovely Romanian Orthodox churches. Romanian was
interesting.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Today is a day of transport, back to
Vienna.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We repacked for flying, had
breakfast at the hotel, returned the car, and shuttled to the airport.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The flight went well, and it was
good to see the sun was still there above the clouds. In fact, the sun was
shining in Vienna.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We did not anticipate
the dreary weather we have been experiencing the past 3 weeks. It has been a
week since we have seen the sun.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">At the Vienna airport we rented a Skoda car with automatic
transmission, for this segment of our trip. All the other vehicles we have
rented have been manual, so this is a pleasant switch.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We drove west out of Vienna to the village of
Melk.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Melk is known for its Monastery
overlooking the village. It is New Year’s Eve. Things are book-up and very
expensive in Vienna, so we opted to drive to Melk. We are sure there will be
enough celebration in Melk for us.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Melk
is along the Danube, and a stop on Danube River Cruises. We drove in this area during
the summer of 2003 and toured the Monastery at that time. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">We are staying in the Rathauskeller Hotel in the center of
the village. The restaurant must be the best in town, as it was completely
booked for dinner tonight. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>This
afternoon, soon after leaving the airport we stopped at a Burger King.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We do not want much to eat tonight, but since
places are already closed or will close early, we need to grab a bite at a café/restaurant
across the street.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Melk is celebrating tonight.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>In the town square there will be music, and the Christmas market stalls will
sell adult beverages to ring in the New Year. After midnight there was a large
firework show.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We decided to take a nap,
so we can go outside around 11:45 pm.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>At
home in Mt Pleasant, we are usually in bed when the clock strikes 12, after
watching the Ball in New York City, dropping at 11:00. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Cal & I remember being in Germany for New Year’s 1973.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We had no idea the Germans celebrated New
Year’s with Fireworks. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It sounded like
the war had broken out again! <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>And we had
a baby we were trying to keep asleep!<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Near Brasov are two Fortified
churches, Harman and Prejmer.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>According
to Google, they are open today. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Wow,
Harman is lovely. There is a 36 ft high wall, reinforced with 7 towers.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>You walk through a narrow passageway to the inside
courtyard surrounding the church. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>There
is living space, and storage space built into the wall on two levels. The
person from whom we purchased the tickets was very helpful, making sure we knew
where to go and what to see.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The museum
rooms nicely displayed items used in schools, homes, kitchens, etc.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We found the upper walkway that allowed us to
walk inside the wall, around the perimeter of the fortification.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The church was typically simple Lutheran,
with three naves where the people sat. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>One
pew section had only backless benches, for the married woman, as their clothes
(costumes) did not allow them to sit against the back of a seat. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Soft organ music was playing, adding an
inspirational feeling to the church.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>In
one corner of the church there was a narrow ladder/stair that took us to the bell
tower, and a great view.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The church
bells ring every 15 minutes, and we were warned that if we are in the tower
when the bell rang, it would be loud.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We
can agree, as the bell rang while we were standing under it.<br />

see that fortified church.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>This
fortification was somewhat similar, yet completely different from Harman.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>To enter, you walked through a 10 ft long vaulted
tunnel-like entrance. This fortification has 5 watch towers. Once you were
inside the 36 ft high wall, you said, WOW! From the interior courtyard you could
see doors to the 270 small rooms built into the wall. These rooms were on four
levels, with stairs going up to clusters of rooms.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The inside of the wall was completely lined
with rooms, and a maze of stairs. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Several rooms were open for viewing.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Behind the rooms on the top level, under the
roof, was a walkway that took us around the perimeter of the wall. The rooms
were built as a refuge for the town if it came under attack from invaders. The
church in the center of the fortification was large, but simple with few
decorations.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We are so glad we took the time to
stop at both fortified churches, since they were open today. They were
wonderful!</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Our next destination was the Peles Castle
and Palace.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>This was the summer get-away
for King Carol I and Queen Elizabeta of Romania, as well as King Ferdinand and
Queen Marie.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>To get to the Castle we
drove through a couple of crowded ski resort towns.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Fortunately, we were going against the traffic,
so we kept moving. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>After parking at the Castle, we had
a 900m (1/2 mile) walk uphill to the Castle and Palace.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Most of the walking surface was good, except
for the last 200-300m, which was completely snow and ice covered.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We were hoping to go through the Castle on
our own, but everyone had to be part of a tour.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Our English Tour group was too large to enjoy the beautiful castle.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">The Castle has 160 rooms, and we bought the extended tour
which included the ground level, 1<sup>st</sup> & 2<sup>nd</sup> levels.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The ground floor was the reception area for
guest, so it was exquisitely furnished. The carved wood throughout the Castle
was amazing. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It also included modern
conveniences like forced air heating, central vacuum system, indoor plumbing,
and electricity. The Castle was built in the 1875-83, so these items were slightly
ahead of their time.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>When we went to the
second level, we lost half of the group, making the tour of the living quarters
more enjoyable.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">After the Castle we went to the Palace which was 200-300m
away.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The Palace was not as elaborate,
yet very nice in its own way.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

This morning after breakfast, we
walked around inside the walled part of Sighisoara before many other visitors
arrived.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We climbed lot of steps to the
what we thought was a castle at the top of the hill, instead it was a school
and a church that was closed.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Back in
the main square, the church opened at 10:00. </div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Once on the road, we stopped at
several fortified churches along our route to Brasov.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Most fortifications were completely closed,
but one was open, so we could see inside the fortress, however the church was
closed.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>As was stated yesterday, the country
roads to the small villages can be challenging.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Today we had one of those roads. It appeared they had just put new
culverts in place, so those spots in the road were very soft.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It was an 8 km challenging drive.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The fortification was interesting, as there
were 5 towers, but again the church was closed.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>A phone number was listed, so a gal who was formerly from Romania and
spoke Romanian, called the number.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>However, the person with the key was sick and WOULD NOT open the church
for the 7 person who were there to see inside. The road we drove when leaving the
village was much better, thank goodness.<span style="margin: 0px;">

Hotel Kolping in Brasov. Cal was tired, deciding to stay at the hotel, while
Cherie and I drove to Bran Castle. The setting was beautiful, with the castle
perched on a rocky cliff. The snowy mountains surrounding the castle added to
the setting. There are tiers of towers giving it the look of a castle. Bran
Castle was relatively small, with lots of stairs, little nooks and rooms.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>There was a central courtyard you could view
from almost everywhere.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We were so glad

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Our hotel included breakfast, so we
were up and ready for breakfast soon after 8:00.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The breakfast buffet was wonderful.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>One of the first we have had on this trip. We
have stayed in numerous apartments, or felt the price of breakfast was too
high, thus we bought items at local groceries to make our own breakfast. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Soon after 9:00 we were in the car
in search of more wooden churches.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>According to the guide book there are several on our way which are
listed as UNESCO sites.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>To get to these
churches we had to travel on some roads that were very rural.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>As a result, we were able to see more
Romanian countryside, farms, hay stacks and horses pulling wagons. We have seen
the farmers going into the field, load hay from the haystack unto their
wagon/cart and return to their barn.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We
sure wonder what livestock is in the barn. We have seen several dairy
operations, and what may have been pork barns. Along the way, the roads were
not always the best, but the scenery was most interesting.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

hours were rapidly passing and we had several hours yet to drive to Sighisoara where
we have a hotel reserved. We arrived at our hotel as it was getting dark.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Thanks for Google maps, we were able to drive
directly to our hotel.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It is amazing how
it is dark by 4:15 pm and not light until almost 9:00 am. We have had to take
these hours into consideration when planning. </span></div>

decided to walk around inside the walled portion of the city. It looked lovely
from below. The buildings were well lite, as well as the towers. There was a
Clock Tower and 5 or 6 other Towers. It was interesting enough that we decided
we would return in the morning to see things in daylight, as well as climb to
the castle on the top of the hill. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We
returned to our hotel, Hotel Bulevard, for a wonderful dinner in their
restaurant, before going to our rooms for the night.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

destination was Sic, a traditional Hungarian town.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The guide books say that 90% of the residents
wear traditional clothes/costumes.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We
drove on back roads to get there, seeing horse drawn carts, and little farming
villages. Once in the village, we found the church, which was open to visitors.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It was simple except for fabric with red designs
done in embroidery, draped over the front pews in the 3 pew sections, and the
table cloth on a table in the center.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>This was an Evangelical church, with no altar, but a pulpit on the side.
There were 3 sections of pews, around the pulpit with a square table in the
center below the pulpit.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The church has
been restored and was well maintained.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

see the Merry Cemetery in Sapanta.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Merry
Cemetery keeps popping up as a “must see” location in Romana. If we do not get
there today, we will not see it, as we have an overnight reservation back in
Baia Mare.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It was nearly dark, almost
4:00 pm, when we arrived.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Oh, My
Goodness, what a surprise!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It was a
forest of unique cemetery markers.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The wooden
markers basic color is blue. The engravings on them are carved with a scene
from the deceased life.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>After the scene
is carved, it is painted, in bright colors, often outlined with colorful tile
designs.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>They all have messages, some of
which, we understand, are humorous.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Our next stop was for the night, in
Cluj. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>By now, it is beginning to get
dark. After checking into our reserved apartment, we relaxed a few minutes
before we drove to the Centrum for the Christmas market and to find an open
restaurant for dinner. The downtown square and streets were beautifully
decorated in lights.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>After walking
around the Christmas market, we found Olivo Café.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>What a great find.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Cherie had perfect Salmon, I had an unusual salad
that was wonderful, and Cal had goulash which was so good, he used a piece of
bread to wipe out the bowl.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Today at the grocery stop, beside
buying meat and cheese, we bought instant coffee and milk for the coffee.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Well guess what, we bought buttermilk instead
of milk!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>So, after dinner tonight we
tried to find a corner grocery to buy milk.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>No such luck as everything closed early for Second Christmas!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We finally found a petrol station that sold
coffee.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>They had no milk in their
coolers, but they actually sold us a box of coffee-milk out of the behind the
counter cooler, in their coffee making station.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>We may not use all of it until we leave Romania, but it cost less than a
cup of coffee. So, we have milk for our coffee in the morning!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

us. Our host was expecting them soon after 4:00. They were given drinks and
some Christmas bread, before they went on to the next home. Normally there are
two groups who go to homes, but this year there was just one group, thus the

idea of road conditions and making overnight reservations.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It has been almost impossible to determine
how far you can drive in one day.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Also,
we want to stop driving before it is dark, which is soon after 4:00, so deciding
how far we can go in one day, is not simple.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>We have made hotel reservations for the rest of our time in Romanian,
since it is the holiday season.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We just
need to be sure to be on the road by 8:30, no later than 9:00, so we have 6-7
hours to drive, and sight see along the way.<span style="margin: 0px;">

ourselves.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>In the end it was best as he
has a 4x4 vehicle.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We left their home
and drove deeper into the gorge. We eventually we drove went over a pass. It had
begun raining, which with elevation, turned into snow.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>By the time we were at the pass, the roads
were snow covered, and the trees were beautifully snow covered.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We continued to the end of the road, also passing
a ski resort.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>At one point we turned off

coffee and breakfast.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>At around 11:00 we
left in two cars for the town of Alba Iulia where there is a wacky star shaped Citadel.
We took 2 cars, instead of cramming into 1 car for a 3-hour drive.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">We drove on the same road to Sibiu as last night, however we
could see the whole gorge in the daylight today. There is enough snow the
accentuate the rocks, and ridges in mountains.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>It is beautiful, as the leave are off the trees, allowing you to see in
the distance.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>This area badly needs a
Motorway, as there is heavy traffic on this road, and very few places to pass
due to all the curves following the river.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>The Motorways are limited in Romania due to politics, money, and
environmental issues.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The issue of
Motorways will limit progress in Romania. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Once in Alba Iulia we found parking on the Citadel
grounds.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Inside the Citadel is the
Romanian Orthodox church where King Ferdinand and Queen Maria were coronated. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It is a lovely church.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Next to it is the Roman Catholic cathedral,
but it was closed, so we could not see it inside. The front part of the Citadel
has been restored with EU monies.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It is
lovely. The other side needs restoration too, which hopefully they will do, in
the near future. While in the restoration phase they found many Roman ruins,
which have been save and are on display.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>There was no snow on the ground. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Breakfast is also served on the
penthouse level of the hotel.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We had a
lovely view morning view of this part of town, as there is 360 degrees of glass
around the restaurant.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Bucharest, the capital
city of Romania is a large city of 1.8 million, compared to Slovakia’s capital
city Bratislava’s with a population of approximately 450,000. Bucharest is a
busy place.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>After the traffic we

traffic will be less as we drive out of town. </span></div>

the road to the town where we will meet a former Rotary exchange student who
attended Mt Pleasant Community High School in 2003-04.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We put her town into our GPS, then will call
her when we are near, for further directions.<span style="margin: 0px;">

hours with good traffic conditions, but plan for longer. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Of course, it also depends on where you are
located, within Bucharest. It took us over 4 hours to get to her town, from
downtown Bucharest. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The outskirts of Bucharest, along
the autobahn, is full of with all sorts of company warehouses.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Being along the motorway is an easy on/off
for truck carriers. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The landscape west
of Bucharest is very level – reminded us of Iowa north and east of Mt

</span>It definitely appears we are going to their holiday house in the
mountains. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It was a beautiful drive through
the mountains.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We followed a river,
winding our way northwest of Bucharest.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Due
to the recent snow, the view in the mountains was beautiful. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We made plans over the phone with
our friends, as to where we would meet. Her boyfriend was there soon after we
arrived, and we followed him to their home. Their vacation/holiday home is in a
small valley about a 15-minute drive from the main highway.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The mountain is directly behind their house.
There is just one street with houses on both sides. It is a lovely mountain
get-away.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

lunch, we loaded up and drove to the town of Sibiu to see their Christmas
market.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It was a 2-hour drive in the
dark.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Our friend’s boyfriend was
driving, and we were riding with them. The snow was melting, so the roads were
very messy with a constant spray on the windshield. Since it was dark, we could
not see the surroundings, but we were continuing to follow the river north,
winding our way through a gorge.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

Bratislava, Slovakia to Bucharest, Romania: </span></b></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">The alarm was set for 6:15 this
morning.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We finished our packing and
requested a cab to take us to the Regional Bus Station.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The best way for us to get to the Vienna
airport is via the bus, that stops at the front of the Main airport
terminal.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The 45-minute bus ride was
very comfortable, and we arrived at the airport on time.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>After landing in Bucharest, we
picked up the reserved rental car. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The
challenge of finding the hotel we had reserved in the center of town was
interesting.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Thank goodness for GPS, we
drove directly there. However, it was bumper to bumper traffic the whole 16
kilometers.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The fact it was Friday night
before Christmas had to play a role in all the traffic we encountered.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">All the main streets into the Centrum have Christmas decorations/lights
overhead across the streets, that will be lite after dark. They will be
beautiful. We finally made it! <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>After
checking-in we enjoyed a welcome drink.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Thursday, December 20, 2018: Bojnice
to Bratislava, Slovakia:<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></b><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"><br /></span></span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"></span>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The Bojnice Castle opens at 9:00, so
this morning we awoke at 7:30, giving us plenty of time to arrive at the Castle
when it opened.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>When Cherie turned on
the lights, there was no electricity.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We
could not believe it, but it appeared there was no electricity in the whole
neighborhood.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We could also hear a
generator running nearby.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We got ready in the dark!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It was getting brighter outside which helped,
but today it is the shortest day of winter.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Thank goodness for flashlights.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>As we were loading the car, it began
to snow!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Since we could not make coffee
in our apartment kitchen, we needed to find a coffee shop - that had
electricity. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We drove to the castle area,
and yes, the homes and businesses in this area had lights. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We parked, walked in the snow that was fast
accumulating, to a restaurant that did not look completely open, but there was
a guy inside at the counter, and the door was not locked.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We asked if he was serving coffee. Well, not
yet, but he would make coffee for us. He told us the kitchen was not open so
there was no breakfast. We asked if we could bring our own breakfast items, and
he said, “of course”.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We went to the car
and brought our breakfast items to the booth and had a wonderful breakfast, and
great coffee. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We walked to the Castle in the snow,
bought our tickets, but then had to wait until the tour began at 9:30.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The only way to see the Castle is going with
a tour guide.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The 9:30 tour would be in
the Slovak language. We waited, taking photos of the castle exterior.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We thought for a while we may be the only
ones on the tour, but right before 9:30 a group showed up.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>This Castle was well maintained during the
Communist Era, with the USSR officials using it for parties, meetings, and
special events.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It is a lovely Castle, and a popular
tourist attraction.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The tour first takes
you to the caves below the castle, then you go up, seeing most of the rest of
the castle.<span style="margin: 0px;"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

road to the town of Banske Stiavnica, which was highly recommended. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It was still snowing, and at places, the road
was not clear.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We turned off the main
highway onto a secondary road which wound through the mountains.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The snow became deeper and deeper the higher
we climbed. By the time we reached Banske Stiavnica the snow accumulation was

road, which was completely snow covered.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>We drove cautiously through the mountains, especially around the sharp
curves.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We finally made it to the

looking at optional ways to see the most of Krakow in the shortest period of time.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We enjoyed Krakow Market Square last night,
so today we were ready to see more of the Old Town area. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We booked a private tour in a heated electric
cart. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It was below freezing in Krakow, with
snow on the ground.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Last night, Market
Square was a cold slushy mess.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We returned to the apartment for a while,
knowing we had a reserved tour of the Wieliczka Salt Mine at 4:10.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Before we drive to the mine, we want to see
the interiors of several churches.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We
had plenty of time and felt everything was under control. That is UNTIL Everything
changed! We arrived at our parking lot to find a “boot” on the front tire of
the driver’s side.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We were given incorrect
hours for free parking.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>How do we get this boot removed and
where do we pay the parking fine? There was a guy in the parking lot who did
help us. Finally, the police arrived, and after paperwork, they removed the
boot.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We felt free!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>However, we had just waisted valuable time in
getting to the Mine.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Once on the road, we followed the
GPS to the mine.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>HOWEVER, by now it was
almost 3:15 and we had a 25-30 min drive.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>We kept running into road disruptions, accidents, and bumper to bumper
traffic. Soon after 4:05 we received a phone call, asking how far we were away
from the mine.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>They simply could not
hold the tour for us.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It seemed the
harder we tried to get there, the further behind we were.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>There was construction, accidents, and stand
still traffic for which we had no control.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>We arrived 20 minutes late.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>All
we could do was buy new tickets, for the English Tour at 5:00.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We had decided to take a tour after dark, as we
were underground.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It is dark by 4:00,
which we need to consider when planning our days.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>What a place!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>They have been mining salt from this mine since
1473. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We cannot even fathom this length
of time.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>This was before Columbus made his
trip to the Americas!<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Our English tour group had approximate 25 persons. First, you
descend 380 steps. Down, down we went. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Thank goodness we have no knee or hip issues!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>This mine had 180 miles of tunnels, with lots
of pits and chambers, all hewn out by hand from solid salt.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Visitor only see parts of the top three
levels. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>In several of the chambers there
are chapels and in one there is a full-sized church, where they have services
every Sunday.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">We also went to the museum, showing more of the equipment
used in mining, as well as photos, which helping explain the process.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">By the time we were finished, we were exhausted. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It was almost 8:00 pm.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">We drove directly back to central Krakow.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We did stop on the Market Square for a meal
at the Hard Rock Café before retiring to the apartment.<span style="margin: 0px;"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

reserved apartment, just off the Krakow square.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Thank goodness for GPS, as we meandered through town to get here.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Wow is the Krakow Square a special
place at Christmas!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>There is a large
Christmas market in the center.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Around
the edge of the square are heated outdoor restaurants.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The decorations, lights and decorated trees
are very upscale.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>There are many well-groomed
horse and carriages waiting to give you a ride.<span style="margin: 0px;">

and settling in for a few minutes, we looked at the websites of activities for
tomorrow.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We booked several items before
we were out the door to explore the Square and catch a bite to eat this
evening.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

tonight, we popped inside the Cathedral which is located at one corner of the
Square.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Evening mass taking place, but
we had a glimpse of this beautiful cathedral.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>We need to return, to really look around. I haven’t mentioned this
before, but several of the Cathedrals we have entered while mass is in session,
have been filled with worshippers. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span><br />

<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Today was a slow day.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We each had a difficult night sleeping and
were therefore late getting up this morning.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Our host went to school with her son and read to his class, so her
husband went with us to a nearby restaurant for breakfast.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Most everything, including food, is cheaper
here in Slovakia than what we found while we were in Vienna.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>After breakfast we returned to the
apartment until it was time to drive to the airport to meet Cherie who was
flying in today.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Her plane was a half
hour late, but everything went as planned.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>It was wonderful to see her again. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">After Cherie arrived, we picked up our rental car, as we
wanted Cherie registered as one of the drivers.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>For lunch, we drove to a nearby shopping mall, after which we returned
to the apartment for some much-needed rest and relaxation, until the host
family returned from school and work.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We have a reservation at a local
Chinese restaurant for dinner. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Slovakian
restaurants require reservations for dinner, and plan for you to have the table
for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We had a lovely meal, and then
walked through several Christmas market.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>It is a cold night. In fact, it began snowing on our walk back to the
apartment. </span></div>

station.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Our friends helped us with the
tickets and all the details of where to go, then we were on our own!!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We rode the train from Bratislava, Slovakia
to Central Station Vienna, Austria, which is an hour ride.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>From there we took the “U” to one of the
central squares, “platz”.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Almost immediately after we exited
the U Station, we spotted our first Christmas market.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It was already after 1:00, so we have to keep
moving if we are going to see several of Vienna’s Christmas markets. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>In 2012, we so enjoyed visiting the German
Christmas markets.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>These are very
similar, but, yet they have some different items.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>In the end, today we went to 8 markets.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We grazed as we went.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We collect two more Gluhwein mugs.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Each market has its own special mug.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>When you buy your beverage, you pay a deposit
on the mug.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>If you do not want it, the
deposit is returned to you when you return the mug.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>So, we just did not return the mugs at one
market.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We also picked up a few Christmas
gifts today.</span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Ever since Mt Pleasant Evening Rotary
Club hosted Corina Zaharia from Romania, I have been interested in visiting Romania.
I am not sure what intrigued me about Romania, but it did – maybe it is
Transylvania, but I’m not sure. Romania was on my bucket list, but low!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Last spring when Cherie and I
discuss where we wanted to meet to travel together, over spring break, this
part of the world was mentioned.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Last
Christmas we had a wonderful time exploring Croatia, Montenegro, Slovenia,
etc.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>After that experience, I had a
stronger pull to the Balken countries than before.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>In the spring Cal decided he would
not travel with us, so when we discussed where he would prefer to travel, the
Balkans or France, he said that he preferred the Balkans, So, spring break of
2018 found Cherie & I in France.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Serious discussion of this trip
began in August 2018, when friends in Mt Pleasant, were celebrating their 50<sup>th</sup>
anniversary. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Both married daughters were
home with their families.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>As usual, the
one stopped by the house to say Hi. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>In
the course of our conversation, a trip to Slovakia was discussed.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>They live in Bratislava, Slovakia, and will
be there one more year.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>They invited us
to visit and to be sure to include Cherie.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>The girls have been friends since grade school.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Cherie’s job responsibilities are
keeping her extremely busy, but she needs to use some holiday time in this
calendar year. She can carry 5 vacation days over into the following year, but
she needs to use the rest of the vacation days now.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Plus, she really does need a break from her
intense work responsibilities. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We determined our best flight would
be directly from Chicago to Vienna, Austria with Austrian Airways.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Dates were finally set.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We are leaving Mt Pleasant on Monday,
December 10, which is Cal’s birthday, arriving in Vienna on December 11.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Our friend will be at the airport to pick us
up.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>At the outset of our planning Cherie
was going to arrive Dec 10, but all of a sudden there was a change in her work
schedule.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>She will be joining us on Friday,
Dec. 14.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>In the meantime, I contacted the
former Mt Pleasant Rotary exchange student in Romania. After sightseeing in
Slovakia and Poland, we are flying to Bucharest, the capital city of
Romania.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>At first, we thought we would
spend Christmas in the city, so as to not interfere with their family Christmas,
but, No, we need to spend Christmas with them.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>We accepted their generous offer to experience a Romania Christmas. </span></div>

house and were on our way, driving to Chicago. We decided to drive to Chicago,
park at the Crown Plaza Hotel, and spend our dollars upgrading our flight to Premium
Economy.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Everything went as planned and
we were at the gate with plenty of time.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>We were the first ones seated in Premium Economy, and only 2 other
couples joined us.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It was unreal!<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>There is a total of 24 seats in Premium Economy
and only 6 seats were filled.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The
regular Economy section was full.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>We
asked the flight attendant about it and she told us this section was full on
the flight into Chicago, so who knows.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Premium Economy is very nice.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The extra space is wonderful.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The food and drinks are upgraded too.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It was an uneventful flight, which is
exactly what you want.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
