Business Trip to Vilnius, Lithuania

I was VERY excited to have the opportunity to go to Vilnius, Lithuania for work.  We have a service center there and I was headed out to help roll out some new software.  Jeramie on the other hand was not in the least bit excited.  Haha.  But that's okay!  It was a trip of a lifetime for me.  I will have to split this post up into several because there are a LOT of pictures.  I'm really glad that at the last minute I thought to throw in a camera, other than just my phone.  I almost forgot!

So the journey begins ... I left around 10am Saturday morning.  Flew backwards to Seattle, then forwards to Amsterdam.  Then another hop over to Vinius.  I arrived there on Sunday around 3pm.

Without luggage .. of course.




                        Not super excited to climb on the plane with the propellers. 


Views from my room.

   

      All the old buildings .. felt a bit heavenly.

The flight was pretty great.  It was fun having full access to the TV's and all the movies and shows they had available.  You don't normally get that on domestic flights.  Plus it really reminded me of my childhood and flying back and forth to England.  Those GIANT airplanes!

Fortunately when we arrived I quickly learned that there was a mall with an H&M literally accross the street from where we were staying.  So off I went to buy some necessities.  I was still wearing my yoga pants I'd traveled for two days in and running shoes.  Definitely not anything I could even fake it in the office that next morning.  And fortunately my work would later reimburse me for the clothes.  NICE .. free clothes!  I was excited to find many of my European favorites, starting with crisps of course.  There was a nice little grocery store inside the mall.  Talk about one stop shopping!


                                               I was quickly accustomed to this "local" beer.  Amazing!

The Accommodations

      My hotel work station.

      The couch.  That I used for  all my clothes.

      Nice big King size bed.   

                                             Right inside the door.  Where I'd make tea.

     Looking the opposite way into the bathroom. 


     Big flush or little flush?  What did you leave in the toilet?? 

                                              Had a shower AND a bath.
