I have no trains\/planes booked either, that didn&rsquo;t come together because I was waiting on the Hungary finalization plans.&nbsp;Those came the day before my travel.<\/p>\n<p>Without much detail, the only real plan I have right now is that I know when I&rsquo;ll be in Romania and what I&rsquo;m going to do and where I&rsquo;ll stay,&nbsp;and I know when I&rsquo;ll be in Hungary and tentative plans.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ll visit Bulgaria sometime in between when I can get all the other plans worked out.&nbsp;

At that time cellular service wasn&rsquo;t popular in the US, but GSM was cheaper than landline phones in Europe.&nbsp; Phones rang constantly.&nbsp;&nbsp; Now it is commonplace but it was such an odd thing then.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"bjtags\">Tags:  <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Murphy's+Law\">Murphy&#8217;s+Law<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Waiting\">Waiting<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Flexibility\">Flexibility<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Airport+Waiting\">Airport+Waiting<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Bulgaria\">Bulgaria<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Hungary\">Hungary<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Romania\">Romania<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Travel+Issues\">Travel+Issues<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lovely.&nbsp;
