Where are you going next?

[StephanieL]

Copenhagen!  Heading there at the end of June for World Coffee Fest Europe.  N will join me after the fest and then we'll do a couple of days of sightseeing.  She's going to be visiting family in the UK either before or after, and possibly heading to SA too, but she'll be making those visits on her own.

Very cool. I have never been to a Scandinavian country. I am ashamed to say.

[StephanieL]

I've already been to Sweden and Finland.

Two possible wedding trips next year: one to Graz, Austria (grad student of N's) and one to Seattle (cousin's son).

[StephanieL]

Austrian trip next June is a go!  We received the invitation yesterday and have already RSVP'd.  The happy couple's wedding website is very thorough, with information on travel details (including a reminder that US visitors will need a visa next year), the hotel where they've already reserved a block of rooms, links to the high-speed rail line that will get you from Vienna to Graz, and even what to wear (cocktail dress--an excuse to get a cute new outfit).

We'll certainly stay a few extra days.  We both want to see Vienna and N is dying to go to Salzburg for the day.

Wonderful. The only place I have visited there was Innsbruck on a high school trip. Would love to see Vienna.

Gorgeous country. And not as expensive as other European destinations. Enjoy!

We absolutely loved Vienna. Considering your musical backgrounds, you have to incorporate homages to Mozart and Beethoven into the plans.

This was news to me - and I live in Europe: ETIAS (not really a visa)

Two business trips later in the year: a short one to Long Beach, CA at the end of July and a sadly longer one to Orlando in October.

Dang! What's your business and how can I get into it? Mine requires that I crazy-glue my feet to the ground.

(And let's forget that @Wilfridwhose sole business seems to be pleasure, with a sprinklings of travel.)

I suspect Wilf is secretly writing the authorized bio of Hinds.

I'm a medical writer/editor.  I go to the smaller meetings to cover talks, to be written up as news stories afterwards, and our society's big annual meeting to film and edit video interviews (and also cover a few talks).

All set for World of Coffee San Diego.  Looking forward to exploring the city and catching a Padres game.

[Wilfrid]

San Diego is fun.

Just got back from skiing in Vermont with the kid. His winter break is in January. Now thinking of I'm going to take myself to LA to see the Islanders play both the Kings and the Ducks in March. As with much in my life, it will depend on the boy's hockey schedule. We're getting to tournament time.
