Austria, here I come!

I hope Austria is ready for me because I'm SO ready to fly now. I've packed my suitcase - still need to toss in some last minute things, of course. I've got my Lebanese flag and spirit and I'm ready to make the best of this trip. This won't be my first trip to Europe though. I've been to England twice before, and I fell in love with London. I liked it better than any other place I've been to. Well, maybe I loved it just as much as I loved Chicago. But, Austria will definitely give me a different feel of Europe. This will also be my first time in a place where I don't speak the native language of the country. I'm not worried about that at all. My English will most probably get me where I need to go. Besides, the sound of a foreign language appeals to me. I'm sure I'll pick up some words and phrases while I'm there. On my way to Salzburg, I have to make two stops. One is Cincinnati, OH and the other is Frankfurt, Germany.

I hope I make it to the Schloss Leopoldskron alright. Yes, that's where I'll be staying for this program. I've decided to call it "my palace" because it's not everyday you get to stay at the Schloss Leopoldskron. So while I'm there, I might as well call it mine.
