Our flight was slightly delayed due to lightening but we made up the time. Josh has been extremely helpful retracing his steps from four days ago leading the group through terminal charges and gates. Several people are meeting each other and getting acquainted and/or re-acquainted. Everything is going well as we wait in Heathrow to make our connect to Vienna. All very positive and looking forward to our arrival and meeting the rest of the group.
Tsipy greeted us at the airport which was such a welcoming site, her smile set the tone for a relaxing change on mood from a day of flights and waiting. Our transition was very smooth and we easily traveled to the hotel with a nice overview presentation of Vienna along the way. The hotel is very historical and offers several historical artifacts and artworks.Everyone arrived on time for dinner and we had a beautiful and relaxing reunion meeting with old friends and CWB veterans. Toasts were made to several people for their service and dedication to CWB.
Presentations by our guides on Vienna and their personal histories as second generation Holocaust survivors. Avi made it here too!
We celebrated Steven’s birthday with a card signed by everyone.
