Many thanks to Laure Young and Steve Carson for a wonderful Bon Voyage party at their beautiful home! The food was delicious and the company outstanding! Thank you for your well wishes as we finalize our preparations for the long anticipated trip to Austria. Of course, Shirley has been packed for three weeks. Stan and I are still staying to decide what suitcases to bring, and Tori is still in Atlanta at a horse show and needs to unpack before she can repack. Mom has been pondering her packing for weeks (or maybe even months?), but in her usual generous style, she has been busy purchasing additional gifts for the Austrian relatives and will have to figure out how to get them overseas. We depart for Munich on Tuesday. Margy is flying solo on Continental Airlines and she will meet us in Munich on Wednesday. Mom, Shirley, Tori, Stan and I are traveling together - which I am sure will be a great source of blog-worthy material. Margy and Mom have been actively researching our Family Tree and Margy prepared a beautiful book to help us understand the Austrian branch of our family tree. The book, along with Mom's flash cards, will serve as a study guide, and I'm feeling a pop quiz coming our way upon arrival in Germany. I fear the need for remedial tutoring! Oops...time to go and pick out a suitcase.
