Jet lag in Orlando
We were suffering from jet lag upon landing in Orlando. After our long trip starting in Bratislava and ending in Orlando we were quite exhausted but also happy. You could feel around that the people were excited!
Flying with baby Frankfurt Orlando
Flying with baby (second segment)
Flying with baby in the second segment meant a loooooooooooooooooong flight! 🙂 It started after a three hour stop in Frankfurt. The first segment of our flight went well but it was just the beginning. The landing went smooth and we were able to take our stroller immediately after that.
Medical insurance in Slovakia
Medical insurance in Slovakia
One of the first things that we did after we moved to Slovakia was to apply for a medical insurance. If you are employed the employer will ask you anyway for the medical insurance card in order to pay the contribution.
Baby aboard, flight Vienna Frankfurt
Baby aboard for the first time
Have you ever traveled with a baby aboard? We started our adventure with a long flight: Vienna-Frankfurt-Orlando. The first segment Vienna-Frankfurt is very short. And we considered it a test.
Packing for our trip in USA
Ready for packing? Me, not so much! 🙂
Packing stresses me out! 🙂 It’s a fact! I am not worried about myself, or maybe indirectly yes, but mostly about my little F. Because I want to make sure that I have everything he might need. At the end of the day if he is happy we are happy. 🙂

Trip abroad with infant: a long flight and a road trip
I am not a big fan of long travels with a baby but since we had F. I realized just how much resources – of which I was not aware – I could actually set in motion.

Marrying a foreigner in Slovakia
Do you speak Slovak?
Learning Slovak?
I didn’t speak Slovak and to be honest my skills are still rudimentary. The advantage that I had was that I was speaking some Czech. They are not the same language although they have many words in common. Czech Republic and Slovakia use to be one country and they have many similarities but each has their own identity.

Public transport in Bratislava
Using public transport?
We got the jobs and we got the flat. The next step was figuring out how to get from one to the other on a daily basis. We had a car but we couldn’t count on both of us using it. I always preferred the public transport because I am not an experienced driver. Fortunately Bratislava has a good system of public transportation and it is fairly cheap.
Have a bite in Bratislava, lunch time
Have a bite in Bratislava (lunch in or out?)
A few days after our arrival to Bratislava, having started our new jobs, we were wondering if we needed to cook our lunch or we could eat some place out in Bratislava.
