Post Script: Barna

Last weekend's trip was also a time of lessons.

• When going to a place, especially a place one has already visited, make reservations in advance for a restaurant of exceptional repute, even if one must spend the rest of the trip surviving only on complimentary hostel meals.
• Check the weather beforehand to bring necessary clothing/accoutrements.
• Make sure traveling companions understand what needs to be brought and airline/accommodation regulations - never assume.
• Learn, one day, to do things earlier than last-minute.
• Bring two pairs of pants.
