Title: Throw another shrimp on the BarBie!
Post by: BizB on July 19, 2011, 01:35:32 PM

I'm heading to Austria!

In the 5th quarter of my EMBA program, we're doing an international trip to Europe.  The cities/countries we'll be visiting include Berlin Germany, Prague in The Czech Republic and Vienna Austria.

The trip ends in Vienna and I'm planning on staying for an additional 5 days after my classmates (most of them) return. I'm also flying my 13 year old daughter over to join me for the extended stay (best dad ever... I know).  I know some of you have done some travel and I thought I'd tap that resource (if you know what I mean) and see if yáll (a little southern lingo) had any suggestions for places to vistening in the Vienna area that would be fun/educational.

Enrique did a study program in Prague.  I'll ask him where you should make sure to go.

When we went to Heviz, Hungary.  We took a day trip to Vienna.  There is easily dozens of places to go.  We did some old house tour and then went to the Summer Palace.

Have a blast.  And BBCkT has a fantastic dad!

Oh, but I have heard that Viennese beer is really good. Especially Fosters.

Actually, Prague is the birthplace of modern beer and we'll be there during the start of Oktoberfest.  I'm happy for that.

I just returned form my holiday in Austria but I was on the other side of the alps. I suggest you practise your german a bit and stay away from gypsies.
