Oh there is so much to write about that I will probably have to do it in a few posts. I finally arrived in austria at 8:30am tuesday morning. AMEN! Much to my surprise I was put in First Class on the Austrian flight!!! They even gave me a $20 food and drink voucher to use in the airport before we took off. Since, I had just eaten lunch, i thought...i'll just go drink the voucher away! I headed to the bar and had some red wine. Thank you Austrian Airlines!!
If you are flying international first class is the way to go! Not only did i get a seat that was a massage chair and reclined into a "sleeper" position, I got a full size pillow, a quilted blanket, a spa bag, complete with lip balm, lotion, socks, a toothbrush, and a few other little goodies!
I got to choose my breakfast menu, the chef personally delivered our food, ate fillet mignon with rosemary for dinner and chose my wine from a nice wine list!! It was great!!!
Once I got in, Tomas from the university picked me up and took me to meet up with the parents. They were so excited to see me, so it was nice to have such a warm welcome. They all had been praying for my safe arrival...I will write about the great mountain town that I met them in tomorrow...i am quite tired and ready to go to bed!
I will be getting up early for my first European run!

Hi Rach- Remember me? Ria's sister. I am so jealous you are in Austria. I was there Fall 99. As a fellow runner I will be keeping tabs on your blog. Sounds like you are doing great. Enjoy running in Austria!
