Day 28 - Fri July 8th - Last day : (

Weather - does it really matter? (But just to aid in being thematic, it actually was raining).

We had to leave early to make sure we could get to the airport in plenty of time, so we checked out and we were ready for breakfast about 5 mins before it was due to be served, but thankfully they'd already set it all out.

After breakfast, there was a break in the rain as we walked to Wien Mitte station. Here, they have the CAT (City Airport Transit) train where you can check in for your flight there and grab a 14 minute express to the airport. So that was good, however the flight was 100% full, so they couldn't seat us next to each other. And of course, they only run the CAT every half hour, so it can make the whole thing about 45 mins if you just miss one, but it's worth it for not having to lug your bags. And, I dunno if it's 14 mins or your money back... coz if it was I think they'd be losing a lot of money. (Can you tell I wish this wasn't the last day?)

Anyway, we got to the airport in plenty of time, grabbed a coffee and went to the departure gate. Last time Cory was in Vienna, he had a terrible time at the departure gate as he only had stand-by tickets and didn't know if he had a seat until the very last minute (he was the last let on). This time, we didn't know if we were going to sit together. But we put on the sad act and said that Nai hadn't been feeling well (which wasn't a lie, as Nai isn't great in the car and head-down reading a map every day will make most people queasy). Anyway, thankfully, we could sit together for the flight home.

We hope that you have enjoyed reading about our exploits even a fraction as much as we enjoyed experiencing it. Arriving in NYC feels like a year ago, and yet it all went so quickly, but then, we never felt rushed and could really soak in where we were.

Cory and Naomi.
