Dear all, am sitting in the Vienna Airport in Austria on the free wireless to recommend this airport to you all. It just increased size by 2/3 and efficiency a thousand-fold -- lots of screening lines, huge duty free, etc. Food at duty free, not much after (watch that).
Travel tips: 1) bring your atm card. Works in major banks with good rates. 2) call your credit card company to remind them where you'll be so you don't get a hold put on it. 3) for most of us, our credit cards will NOT work in some merchants -- European credit cards work with chips in them, we're behind the times. Anywhere catering to tourists ok, local shops sometimes not. 4) Austria -- land of candy and cake. Buy it at the local grocery store, not the tourist areas (same brands) katie ************************ Katherine Arens Office Phones: (512) 232-6363 ar...@austin.utexas.edu Dept.
