Travel Part 2 - Where ya headed?

Re: Travel Part 2 - Where ya headed?

Several years ago, we took a number of shorter flights around Turkey with our daughter, who had lived there for several years and flew weekly for business to Ankara, Izmir, and Antalya. She told us the young men would jump up during taxi and push their way ahead, even being rude to older women. She was right. We loved the Turkish people we met, but that was an odd experience.

Pinoys are extremely friendly but if there's a queue to join, an elevator to get into or an intersection to cross by car they'd slit your throat if it allowed them to go first. It's really, really bizarre. Not unlike my experiences in the Middle East and other parts of SE Asia and Africa. Japan is the lone exception I've found in the Eastern hemisphere.

Very much so. Abu Dhabi is the same if you end up there. As is Doha, Riyadh, Manama...

On my way back from my first trip to Germany. Hit up Wurzburg, Erlangen (where we are moving in February), Salzburg, St. Gilgen, Munich and Nuremberg. Mostly incredible although a bit underwhelmed by Salzburg.

I literally didn't want to get on the plane to come back. I can't wait to move here.

I thought the same thing. The question is will he qualify to come back (if he wants to)?

Ah yes, airline lounges. Where the question is always, "How much complimentary stuff can I squeeze out of this joint before my flight?"

Of course, sitting through a layover in a relatively tranquil space (compared to the main terminal) without the pleebs and their screaming brats is nice, too. As is having decent WiFi (in most cases).

mookie isn't lying when he tell you he moved his friday flight from 11a to 6p so he could spend more time in the concorde lounge

I can't even imagine a situation where I'd ever consider wanting a citizenship other than with the USA. And if you get another citizenship you should have to forfeit your US citizenship.
