Merry Christmas, from the cats

For Christmas, our two cats gifted us the German edition of the Rosetta Stone language learning program. I don't know about you, but this, for me, would immediately raise two questions:

Question 1: Why learn German?
Answer 1: Because we (my fiancee and I) have recently decided to move to Vienna, Austria by the end of 2010. (This answer, of course, leads to myriad offshoot queries, but let's just stick with these two to start...)

Question 2: Can we bring our very generous kitties, Bear & Sister, with us when we move?
Answer 2: I haven't the foggiest idea.

And so begins the journey. A year of planning and discovery, questions and explorations, learning a new language and determining the viability of transporting pets across country lines, to be documented here for the world (or, more likely, my close friends & family) to experience with me.

It's going to be an exciting year.
