Yes, I’m off on another adventure soon. A close friend is getting married in Lörrach, Germany, near the Switzerland border at the end of March. Although I was hesitant at first since Germany was never high on my list, I’ve long ago established taking travel chances when the fall into my lap. Next thing I knew, I had wrangled two new Austin friends to joining me and our trip snowballed from traversing around southern Germany and some of Switzerland into Germany, Switzerland and Austria in ten days.
But then my flight stalking proved fruitless when the flight went up $120 right when I hit purchase to confirm. Ten minutes later, we made the crazy idea to fly out of Budapest because a $797 flight (especially out of Austin) is too hard not to grab.
Tentative itinerary:
Basel > Lörrach (wedding) > Interlaken (adventure!) > Munich > Vienna > Budapest.
In twenty minutes, I purchased a flight after the last moment Budapest addition, sprained my ankle when I literally slammed into a co-worker running to ace a phone interview with HR for a job prospect.
So despite the fact my ankle is swollen and I have to miss the gym and tennis for a week, I’m gloriously happy because on two months, I’ll be off to my happy place.

Oooh sounds like so much fun (sans the sprained ankle)! We visited Munich a couple of years ago and loved it. It’s lovely and clean and the Germans are the nicest ever. Oh – and if you have a chance and there are people doing it, check out the surfers on the perpetual wave in the main park. Highly entertaining.
Can’t wait to see pictures!
Last minute planning like this is always fun to me. We’ll be in the position of doing the same in the next week or so for travel in March, as well. My client keeps changing their minds about the location of our session, so our piggy-back adventure all hinges on them. First it was Munich. Then NYC. Then London. Then NYC. Now it’s about 90% back to Munich, which means some fun times around there, Vienna and maybe Switzerland in early March!
And you never told me when you’re going to be there. I’m in Munich 10-19 March, then 19-22 March in Vienna, then 22-25 March in Prague!
Aw! I just miss you. I don’t fly out of here until the night of the 22nd and get to Germany on the 23rd. Boo! You’ll have to update your blog w/ what you saw and did so I can just steal your plans for my own.
