Travelling Abroad: Latest Vacations [B.Kabelka]

2010
- August 13 to August 15: Carinthia
  
  Five years after finishing my studies (and ten years after starting them), we (a group of fellow students and me) are again going on a short holiday together. We will spend a weekend at Urbansee in Carinthia.
- May 8 to May 31: Western United States
  
  After nine months in my new job, the next vacation was due. I visited the United States (again). This time, I focused on the West apart from California: Among others, I went Yellowstone, Utah and Arizona.
2008/09
- September 25, 2008 to May 18, 2009: RTW Trip
  
  Between the end of September 2008 and mid-May 2009, I was away on my (so far) longest trip: I was travelling all around the globe!
2008
- February 29 to March 2: A Weekend in London
  
  A friend from London invited me to a party on occasion of her 30^th birthday. Of course, I took this opportunity to spend one weekend in the British capital city.
- December 26, 2007 to January 25, 2008: Patagonia
  
  Originally, this holiday was already planned for (late) fall 2007. In the end, I was finally leaving at Christmas for South America, where I spent just under a month, mostly in Patagonia. It really was an extraordinary holiday!
2007
- July 6 to July 7: Budapest
  
  Several years ago, I was invited to Budapest by two Hungarian friends for the first time. Finally, I really visited the Hungarian capital together with my friends, since went to see the musical "Vámpírok Bálja" ("Dance of the Vampires") there. However, both of them did not have much time to show me around during the day, so I had to explore the city on my own.
- June 15 to June 29: Ireland
  
  Right after returning from the conference, I went on summer holiday. This year, I explored Ireland – partly aboard a tour of Vagabond Ireland, partly alone.
- June 7 to June 13: Lago Maggiore
  
  From June 11 to June 12, the "Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Conference" (ASMC) was held in Stresa. Together with a colleague from the FH Steyr, I participated in this conference. Before, we were taking the opportunity to spend four days at Lago Maggiore.
- March 9 to March 11: Skiing-Weekend in Obertauern
  
  A fellow colleague from work most kindly organized a skiing weekend in Obertauern. Therefore, I was able to go skiing for two days with five of my colleagues.
2006
- September 16 to October 3: "Atlantic Maritimes"
  
  In the late summer, I explored the "Atlantic Maritimes" on a tour organized by the travel company Footloose. This tour took me to Acadia National Park, and to Nova Scotia (among others). After the tour, a short visit to New York City was also a must!
- May 29 to May 31: Munich
  
  Right after my stay in Zürich, I attended a three-day seminar in Munich (as part of my job). Unfortunately, there was no time for sightseeing. However, I could again visit two friends I met in Canada the year before.
- May 25 to May 28: Zürich
  
  I wanted to go to Zürich ever since a fellow student went there for a semester abroad. Unfortunately, he came back to Vienna for some months in 2006, so I had to go sightseeing on my own. However, I could still visit some friends I met during my stay in Canada the year before.
- March 17 to March 19: Skiing-Weekend in Montafon
  
  On invitation of a fellow traveller of the tour through Canada the year before, I spent one weekend skiing in Montafon (Vorarlberg).
2005
- October 22 to October 23: Frankfurt am Main
  
  When you are invited to a birthday party in Frankfurt, you just don't have any choice but flying to Frankfurt for some 24 hours – especially if you are able to meet your fellow travellers from the previous summer holiday.
- September 12 to September 15: ASIM-Tagung in Erlangen
  
  Right after coming back from my summer holidays, I had to start working again, as I attended the "ASIM-Tagung" (a conference on modelling and simulation) in Erlangen, where I presented the results of my thesis.
- August 3 to September 3: Western Canada
  
  Also in 2005, I had to go on a trip overseas – this time not with my father, but on a camping tour with a really nice group of twelve other young travellers from all over Europe (organized by Trek America).
- July 23 to July 30: Crete
  
  Together with some of my fellow students, I celebrated my graduation – which I accomplished in mid-June – during a one week long holiday in Greece.
- May 13 to May 29: Visiting some Fellow Students
  
  If several of your friends and fellow students spend a term abroad somewhere around Europe, you just have to take the opportunity and visit them – in Paris, London and Norway!
- May 5 to May 12: Tuscany
  
  This year, there was again a seminar of ARGESIM in Tuscany, which I attended – this time as a diploma student. Despite the lectures, there was still enough time to enjoy this beautiful part of Italy.
- January 6 to January 9: Hamburg
  
  For the first time, I have been on a city break in Germany: Together with two of my friends, I spent four days in Hamburg.
2004
- September 3 to September 6: Kufstein
  
  I spent four days near Kufstein while visiting a friend of mine in Tyrol.
- June 24 to July 26: Australia
  
  During a whole month, my father and I have seen a large part of the northeastern quarter of the continent – from the coast to Kakadu, from the reef to the Red Centre ...
- May 7 to May 13: Tuscany
  
  In the course of a Spring School organised by ARGESIM, I spend a week on (working) holiday in Tuscany (Italy).
- March 31 to April 15: New York and Boston
  
  During my easter holidays, I just had to visit New York again – I just missed the Big Apple too much! I also took the opportunity to visit Boston and its environs.
2003
- September 1 to December 26: Auslandssemester in New York
  
  Spending four months in New York really gives you quite an insight into the Big Apple – whether concerning the wonderful museums, the parades, or Central Park ...
- August 24 to August 31: One Week of Sightseeing in New York
  
  Downtown Manhattan, the Empire State Buidling, several museums – my father and me visited (apart from Central Park) all important sights in New York City.
- August 6 to August 23: Touring California
  
  During our tour through California, my father and me visited (among others) Los Angeles, San Francisco, Yosemite National Park, Death Valley and even the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
