Tales of a Globetrekking Mom: Driving in Vienna
http://globetrekkingmom.blogspot.com/2012/09/driving-in-vienna.html
Tales of a Globetrekking Mom. Saturday, September 8, 2012. Please note that I did not say Austria. I will stick to Vienna's city limits for now since I know that driving on Austria's highways is similar to driving on US highways. We received our vehicle last week. The Cat drove it home and it sat there until this week when we had a few functions at the school and decided to drive because the bus that goes up that way only comes around every hour. The problem is that some districts require while others do...

http://globetrekkingmom.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Tales of a Globetrekking Mom. Friday, August 31, 2012. Seems like forever since my last post! The things returned to school last week after what seemed like an endless summer - to me, anyway.

http://globetrekkingmom.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Tales of a Globetrekking Mom. Saturday, May 19, 2012. From Low to High Tech. It's been over a year since we heard the news that we would be relocating to Vienna, Austria in 2012. We are now 6 weeks from departure. That device entertained my then infant/toddler on many trips to the grocery store and anywhere where she had to be restrained. The kids.well between their iTouch and iPads loaded with games, books, movies and shows, we better not hear a peep! There has never been a better time to be an expat!
