It’s been 16 months(!) since my last adventure. It’s been a crazy – and sometimes heartbreaking – year with the sickness and loss of my sweet Roxy (my dog and love of my life for those who didn’t know her). But she is in puppy heaven right now chasing rabbits and is no longer in any pain. I miss her every single day 🙁 BUT – this post is not a sad one!!!

Today I’m on my way to Vienna, Austria to celebrate my 40th birthday with my best friend. It will be a different kind of trip because I’m so used to traveling on my own and I’m so psyched about it! Two adventure traveling girls instead of one! We only have a few plans set in stone but I promise we’ll have adventures and I’ll post about every single one – unless what happens in Vienna stays in Vienna of course!

For me writing this blog is about documenting my trip, of course, but it’s also about being accountable. As those who love me know, this is my chance to get out of my comfort zone and experience a part of life that most others don’t get to. And for that blessing I’m going to take advantage of – and appreciate – every single moment!

A taste of what’s to come…snowshoeing in the Alps, a Christmas mass featuring the Vienna Boys Choir and of course, seeing an opera – in fancy gowns – at the Vienna opera house.

Below is a picture of a typical Vienna Christmas Market. In the background is City Hall.

Peace, love and joy,
