Finally checked into our accommodations for the duration, which is a little B&B set up in a golf course called La Forteresse. La Forteresse is where I played on the first day. We once again have no air conditioning, but do at least have a cross breeze in this one. Problem is we have no…

After the Wizzair experience and a Mister Toad’s Wild Ride around the outskirts of Paris, we finally reached the tiny village of Chaumont where we were put up in the Chateau there. The Chateau is an ancient chateau that is many centuries old and is directly across the street from our friends’ house, which was…

The trip on Wizzair was, dare I say it, a whiz. Wizzair, despite it’s bizarre name, is a wonderful airline if our experience is any guide. The planes were brand new and clean as a whistle; the flight attendants courteous and helpful, if a tad officious. If the plane hit a bump, they were all…

We’re getting packed to leave Budapest this morning. We’re flying from here to Paris on Wizzair (God help us), where we’ll rent a car and drive to the tiny hamlet of Chaumont to hang out with friends for a few days.

In order to blog I have to write the blog on Word, then quickly copy it to the blogging software, then very quickly go through all the manipulations…

We’re leaving this morning–my birthday–for Cesky Krumlov for a concert tonight. Cesky Krumlov is a medieval city in the south of the Czech Republic that’s practically on the Austrian border. We’ll be staying there one night, and from the reports of it, the hotel may not have a phone let alone high speed internet, so…
