So I made it through my pre-vacation. I drove 4500 miles in two weeks (well, 15 days), saw both sets of grandparents, three sets of aunts and uncles, two cousins, six sets of brothers and sisters-in-law, and 16 nieces and nephews. I listened to one session of conference, a dozen podcasts, and many hours of great rock and roll. And honestly, I'm tired, but not as much as I thought I would be. I'm really glad I made this trip. It was really great getting to see everyone and talk about my next great adventure.
I've still got quite the to-do list for tomorrow and Wednesday morning to be ready for my next travels. Taking care of banking stuff, laundry, packing, and mowing the bush atop my head. Sorry Tim, I appreciate you cutting my hair, you did what I asked for, but I realized mom's right, my hair just can't do what I was wanting from it. So I think I'm going to the inch or two long style for the next foreseeable future. That will also make traveling much easier.
I have couch surfing hosts lined up for the first couple weeks. There's an Austrian holiday the last day I was planning on staying in Vienna, so I'm either going to have to find a church member who'll put me up, sleep in the train station, or leave Vienna earlier than planned. Or I guess I could suck it up and stay in a hostel. So I've got a couple unplanned days, I'm sure that won't be the only time this happens, but it's things like this that make me really excited about this trip. It's going to be one great adventure.

This is Hannah. I have some relatives in Vienna, second cousins of some sort. Go find Dave or Ronde (Ron-day) Struve at church and tell them you're a friend of mine. They'll either let you stay for a night or find someone who will. And if you tell me what days you're going to be there I can warn them in advance.
