| Kitzbuhel and the Alps at night, skytracer.com |
Newlywed wives planned instead a cheap flight to Kitzbuhel’s slopes.
Spilling every last drop on Austrian cobblestones,
And reimbursing broken bed fees,
Naught remained for keepsakes.
Life’s memento arrived 9-months later.
That was a fun read!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteHa! :) What a surprise been must have been!
ReplyDeleteYes it was! Our own little Weinerschnitzel!!!
DeleteWow. I loved this one! Great story! So sweet about the baby at the end. That's a really, really nice story. *smiles* I really enjoyed this one, Gina :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, Scriptor! It was a an adventurous and fun ski trip andmy first to Europe. Yep! She came along 9 months to the day!
DeleteHeheheh. The Alps win again!
ReplyDeleteYes! The Austrian Alps owned me in more ways than one!
DeleteGo newlyweds wit yo bad selves! LOL!
ReplyDeleteWe'd been married 11 months and used our last $$$ to reimburse the innkeeper. We are reminded of it often by these friends.
DeleteBroken bed fees. Lol. That'll teach you!
ReplyDeleteBack in the "wild" days, Kymm! It taught us to have more money with us on crazy vacations in case we broke another!
DeleteTerrific!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bo.
DeleteLoved the broken bed fees. Great post.
ReplyDeleteMakes for a funny tale now. Back then...not so much. No spare money for such negligence ;-)
Deleteso cool! this must be such fun writing!
ReplyDeleteIt always is fun to write short stuff!
DeleteYou did it! I'm going to at some point but this is crazy weekend - Single Mom and I have to decorate and get the cards out!
ReplyDeleteI didn't think I'd get it in before I left to go out of town. Decorating and cards take many hours. I've done the cards and half the decorating. Have to get my act together.
Deletethere's something in the Austrian air...
ReplyDeleteOr in the bier! It's strong. That might have had something to do with it!!!
DeleteThanks, Ruby. I gave it my best shot :-)
ReplyDeleteA honeymoon souvenir? The 'broken bed fee' line made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteThe innkeeper was upset and kept saying it was a new bed when we arrived. We looked at each other in disbelief but paid her to replace the broken slates. I swear... But our friends get a kick out of saying we truly broke it. I still don't think we did ;-)
DeleteThis is so sweet. Naught remained for keepsakes. I love that line - and then its followed by an even better one. Nice, Gina.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stephanie. Yep, we blew it out. Spent every last nickel we brought. Surprise, surprise!!!
DeleteThat's one glorious souvenir! Nice, Gina!
ReplyDeleteThe gift that keeps on giving 22 years later :-)
DeleteGina, this is great. I love this. I'm kind of angry that this is community-judged, and I'll have to trust everyone else to love it, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for saying that! You made my morning, Trifecta!
