In the spring of 1997, we had wanted to travel to Budapest, Prague, and Krakow, but could not make the proper flight arrangements. This year, we had wanted to go to Athens and Istanbul, but we couldn't get any of the frequent flyer seats. However, we were able to make our 1997 trip one year late. Our worst traveling experience ever occurred on this trip when we were pickpocketed in Budapest. But strangely enough today, we think of this trip as one of our favorites. Near the end of the trip, we were able to visit the memorial at Auschwitz. Seeing evidence of the unspeakable horror of that time made our misfortune seem so tiny. |
