No luck August 9, 2006

Ok, the strategy I had cooked up did not work – the Lufthansa flight to Munich was far from fully booked, and I could only obtain a nice seat in Economy Class, with nobody nearby.

On the bright side, the internet connection on-board is an established feature by now, and I decided I will use it every time I fly to the US or back.

So here I am, traveling towards two weeks in the Alps. Here is my approximate schedule:

  • August 9 to 12: relax, bring kids to short hikes (not more than 2000 feet of altitude gain or two hours walking, since I carry Ilaria on my shoulders most of the time)
  • August 13-14: a climb with a friend (would love to get atop the “Croda Rossa di Sesto”, a 10000 ft peak close to Padola)
  • August 15-16: a long hike with Filippo, sleeping maybe at Rifugio Comici in-between
  • August 17-19: nothing much during the day, since the moon will be gone by then and I will try to observe during the night (have a long list of galaxies to check out)
  • August 19-21: a three day visit to Alpen Adria, in Austria, to see Mattia and his family

And then back to work…

So I will be blogging irregularly in the next two weeks – the closest hot spot from Padola, where we have our house, is a mountain pass away…
