A trip we planned
Austria, and two lifelong wishes
A mother and daughter came to Steve with one trip and two very different wishes. The mother had wanted to see the Lipizzaner stallions at the Spanish Riding School since she was young — the white horses, the baroque hall, the training that takes years. The daughter wanted to fly a falcon.
Plenty of trips end up serving one person's list while everyone else goes along. Steve's view is that a trip fails if someone comes home having watched rather than done. So Austria wasn't chosen as a compromise — it was chosen because both things are genuinely there, and because getting into either one takes more than showing up.
The Spanish Riding School performances sell out well ahead, and the falconry is arranged through a small number of people who do it properly. Both were booked before the flights were.
They came home having each done the thing they'd been imagining for years, on the same trip, without either of them having to wait their turn.
