Getting to Krakow was a much bigger pain that getting to Paris. The short of it is this: we arrived safe and sound after a couple flight bumps and delays. And here is the long of it... I was coming to terms with the notion that I had no control over how we got to Poland, where we stayed, etc because Scott's work set it up. I had researched the flights we were on, etc...and was reasonably comfortable. So we get to CVG to check in and they tell us that our or...

We have arrived safe, sound and extremely tired in Krakow. I'll write a little more in a bit. The little picture is of the sunrise somewhere over Scotland I think.

I didn't even get up to get breakfast with Scott this morning because I was so exhausted. I slept late and piddled around getting the new room organized. It was snowing.

The trip to Krakow is a done deal. We leave on 2/24/12 and return on 3/4/12. Since it's a work trip for Scott and not really a vacation, we've had little input on travel arrangements.

Once there, we have 50 minutes to catch our last flight to Krakow. The itty bitty layover makes me a tad nervous. We...

It looks like the Krakow trip will be pushed into March, which will probably be better because it's like -4 there right now. Scott is gunning for two weeks, so hopefully we will have a weekend to head into a neighboring country. A Polish co-worker of Scott's sent this video that gives a little history and tourist info for Krakow. Apparently Krakow is actually pronounced "Krakuv"...which makes sense becuase they pronounce w's as v's. If the video doesn't wor...
