Today my parents wanted to go for a hike. So we settled for a rather easy hike from Annaberg to Tirolerkogel. Annaberg is about a 1 hour drive from my parents and we got there around 10 am. The hike itself is quite easy and actually very moderate and it took us a out 2 hours to reach the top. It still amazes me how much green there is around. From the top you have quite a very nice view of the surrounding mid-level mountains and I really enjoyed my time up there. Also got to see lots of Austrian cattle. This would have definitely been a great and fun hike for Daisy, but she won't get here till tomorrow evening.
One of the benefits of hiking Tirolerkogel is that on top of it is the Annaberger Haus, a mountain hut, and it's always great having a good lunch after a nice hike. I had a traditional Tiroler Groestl...it must have been at least 10 years since I had the last one. A couple of years I made a Tiroler Groestl in the States, but didn't find all the ingredients and so I had to find a substitute for certain thing. It still was very yummy but certainly not the real deal.
After lunch we relaxed a little and then headed back down to the car and by late afternoon we were back at my parents place.
Today was also the day that Daisy would start her long journey across the Atlantic to Europe. Around 6 pm I got word from my ex-husband, that the guys from PetRelocation had picked up Daisy. The guy seemed to be very nice and he seemed care about animals a lot. He also promised to take Daisy for a final walk before she was to board the plane. He was doing fine handling Daisy and she seemed quite excited to go for a ride...of course having to go for that ride inside the travel crate was not quite her idea of fun. But all in all she was doing very well.
Although Daisy was not going to fly before 2 pm they had to pick her up well in advance, since they had to drive to LAX and that's about a 2 hour drive. On top of that they have to get the approval for the travel crate from a TSA agent and get approval from the local USDA agent before Daisy is allowed to even board the plane.
I checked in flight tracker and knew that the plane had taken off. About 30 minutes into the flight I got word from my PetRelocation specialist, that Daisy was on board and en-route to Europe. After that confirmation I finally was able to go to bed.
