I picked up a tiny baby and it was love at first site. We have bonded over our mutual love of dancing, milk, and napping. As he sleeps, and the house is quiet, I thought it was a good opportunity to let everyone know I have arrived safely and this city is alternately pouring and grey. However, I have a rainjacket and waterproof shoes so all should be well.

The flight was amazing. Ordinarily, I wouldn't bother to mention it, but I was moved up to first class for reasons I don't particularly understand. Those pods are as ethereally comfortable as the commercials lead you to believe. I have no idea whether or not the flight was bumpy because I was fast asleep for the entire time that I was allowed to recline.

I could also share my itinerary, which is fairly loose. My aunt very kindly typed it up for me a couple weeks ago, but it's been modified since and will probably continue to change.
London 20 May 09 Travel into Scotland, Oxford, Stratford-Upon-Avon
Fly from London to Istanbul 31 May 09
Train to Thessaloniki 03 Jun 09
Zagreb/Dubrovnik 6 Jun 09
Budapest 9 Jun 09
Vienna 11 Jun 09 meet Alyssa (I actually don't remember if this is the day... But I know we're supposed to meet at the train station in the afternoon. Maybe.)

After Vienna, everything will be more organized, because Alyssa will actually be involved in the planning.
