Check the websites: <BR>www.info.wien.at/e/programm.htm and www.info.wien.at/mpr/01-00/baele.htm <BR> <BR>The latter site will give you addresses and phone numbers of eleven venues where balls are staged

I would have thought you are nuts to be planning this so late, but in fact, there are good air fares still available. I just helped someone locate a fare of $551 yesterday for Atlanta-Munich / Graz-Atlanta (traveling Dec 25-Jan 6). Kinda makes me envious that I'm not spending the New Year "over there". <BR> <BR>I have a somewhat odd collection of travel articles (mostly internet-newspaper links), and you might find the following fun to read. <BR> <BR>A night at the opera ball <BR> <BR>It's the premier event in Vienna's social calendar <BR> <BR>By Alan Behr, Globe Correspondent, 01/31/99 <BR> <BR>http://travel.boston.com/world/europ...vienna_2.shtml <BR> <BR>It won't necessarily tell you about a tour operator to take you there (though I might volunteer, especially if you have some other people), but it will give you some ideas about what to expect. <BR> <BR>Best wishes, <BR> <BR>Rex <BR>www.allexperts.com

Thanks Rex, but actually I'm already planning for NEXT year (2001). It could be tough because we need a ball that's on a Friday night in January. Living in Atlanta, you might be able to do even better than $551. Have you tried Travelocity to Vienna? Delta has a code share with Austrian Air.

You might be right that a better fare could possibly exist, but the traveler who contacted me had some fairly specific dates, a desire to NOT fly a straight roundtrip (i.e., she WANTED a triangle that she could complete by ground travel), and one end kinda needed to be Graz. This close to Christmas, I felt like the fare was pretty good! <BR> <BR>Waltzing in Vienna for January 2001 sounds pretty good (I assume you are not interested in 29 Dec 2000) - - want to make it a group trip? (25th anniversary for me and my wife is 3 Jan 2001 - - but we'll join you on the 5th, if you find a ball that meets your criteria!) I can probably learn to waltz with 12 1/2 months notice! <BR> <BR>By the way, what does braindancing.com signify - - is it your own personal domain? I don't find a www.braindancing.com

Rex, We'd love to have you and your wife if you don't mind spending a few days with some 30 something year old couples and a 15 month old. We're only planning to spend 2 nights in Vienna and then take a train to Zell am See for our annual ski trip. Why don't you e-mail me at home ([email protected]) in April if you're interested. By the way "Braindance" is the company I work for which is a marketing firm. I specialize in the healthcare industry
