First blog post of my first blog ... what to say? I guess an outline of the following weeks is a good place to start. Laurie and I will be leaving next Saturday for Munich. There we will stay for 2 weeks - language school in the mornings and touristing in the afternoons (or vice versa depending on the school schedule). After that we go to an early music seminar in Zell an der Pram, stopping at Salzburg for 2 nights on the way. Next is Vienna for 3 nights - probably jam-packed with tourist stuff. Finally we are staying for a few days in London at our friend Julian's place.

We are currently in the hype of organizing the final touches to the practical side of the trip. Only yesterday did we decide to go via Salzburg. We have tried to book accommodation there but not heard from the hostel there yet. Similar accommodation situation in Vienna.

Plan for today: Buy a guide to Austria. I know websites have a lot but there is nothing like flipping through a paper copy.
