The Itinerary

Highlights: I meet Suzanne in Chicago where we enjoy a 2.5 hour layover and 9 hour flight together.

Sunday June 24 - We arrive in Vienna in the morning and meet Angie
Highlights: To be determined in flight by reviewing a travel guide and avoiding anything Angie does by herself on Saturday; hopefully finding one of the churches I picked out in Vienna so we can worship with other believers (in English!)
