Since the wireless connection at the airport cost 14 or so pounds I’m stuck with chronicling through Microsoft Word. My flights so far have been pretty uneventful, besides the crazy turbulence heading into London. I’m now sitting in the terminal waiting for them to open my Gate and tell me exactly where to go to catch my plane. I’m so amazed at the number of women who wear high heels while traveling. I come from a relaxed, Californian/Eugenian home where travel outfits consist of tennis shoes or flip flops, comfortable pants and usually a sweater, just in case it gets cold. Here are these women in 3-5in heels trekking through airport terminals like they were on the streets of Manhattan, dressed to the T. While I love dressing up and occasionally sporting a shoe with a heel, the idea of traveling for 17 hrs straight in something that I can only wear for 4 hours on a good night, makes me feel sorry for the future of their feet.
Any who, I should be arriving in Vienna around 18:00 where Susi will meet me. I do not feel the slightest bit jetlagged, but I am assuming it will catch up to me and will be an early night for me. I’m nervous about practicing my German with her family but I’m sure they will bear with me as I stumble through basic phrases.
