St. Hedwig, Widow

St. Hedwig, duchess of Poland, of royal stock and the maternal aunt of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, retired into a Cistercian convent after the death of her husband. She died in 1243.

After much debate, and surfing the internet for the best hotel and flight deals, we have set a time and place for our Christmas Vacation travels. We will fly to Rome on 4 January 2008, and fly back to Vienna on 11 January 2008. If this looks similar to a trip we took back in 2006, that's because it is. However, this time I will be able to drink the wine! We have plans to visit many different cities and countries in Europe, but we couldn't wait to go back to the Eternal City!
