Ireland, January 2012
As I do every year, I went to Ireland for work in January, upon our return from the US. We took advantage of the two weeks to explore more of Limerick and the surrounding region, including a quick weekend trip down to Cork. I say quick because I got a horrible case of food poisoning so we drove back to Limerick, where I spent all day Sunday (and some of Monday and Tuesday) recovering in bed.
Paris, December 2011
This year, we went to Paris on our way back to the US (rather than on the way back to Slovakia). Another great time with family and new memories for Eric and I: loaded baked potatoes at Versailles, Christie & Thais picking us up (I am so amazed at how adult my little cousin is now, and TALL), finding the egg restaurant (Eric had the egg en coquotte with basil, YUM).
Prague, November 2011
We made our annual pilgrimage to Prague, this time spending the weekend with friends and then I worked from the PwC Prague office on Monday. Things I loved about this trip: Christmas market in full effect (trdelnik everywhere), fun absinthe bar Phil took us to, Radost veg restaurant, finding the John Lennon Imagine wall.
Salzburg, Austria, November 2011
Taking advantage of a 3-day weekend due to a public holiday in Slovakia, Eric and I headed to Salzburg. I love the Sound of Music so it was my dream come true to see all the film locations in person! Besides that, Salzburg is a beautiful city nestled in gorgeous countryside, with wonderfully warm people. We had the most fantastic weekend. Thanks to Herbert and his family for the hospitality, including inviting us to their neighborhood Halloween party!
Oktoberfest, October 2011
We decided, somewhat on a whim, to join some friends heading to Munich for Oktoberfest for the weekend. When I say weekend, I mean leaving Bratislava at 5:30am, heading to Munich for the day, and driving right back (in a hired van). It was a long and exhausting day but completely worth it! It was an awesome experience, we'll be back next year!
Cesky Krumlov, September 2011
I got to pick the destination for my birthday weekend so I chose Cesky Krumlov, a beautiful little Czech village. It really is a jewel of a town, with an adorable historic center and a magical castle on a hill. We even took a float down the river (although the water was really low so it took nearly all day).
