Not a geography major

I just had the following exchange with a Sprint operator:

“I’d like to know how much it would cost to place a call to Austria from my cell phone.”

“Of course, sir, I can help you with that. Where did you say you wanted to call?”

“Austria.”

“Australia?”

“No, Austria.”

“Can you spell that, please?”

“A-U-S-T-R-I-A.”

“Okay, please hold, sir.”

Three-minute hold.

“Thanks for holding, sir. I have the information about your call to Aus… Austra.. Aus…”

“Austria.”

“I can’t even say it!”

“Yeah.”

Wow. Glad she's not a travel agent.

So, is that far from here? I think it's up near Waco maybe. Should be included in your plan.
