  • Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown

    GF lived in Paris for a bit...she would rather walk then deal with either of us trying to drive in that town.

      Having lived in GF and the SF Bay area for similar lengths of time, I'd say they have a lot in common. Highly educated population surrounded by physical beauty, and counterculture bohemian roots. They could be sister cities.

        Scenery? Grass isn't scenery unless you are in Ireland.

            Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

              MNS, what’s the typical ground speed of an MD90 at cruising altitude? We had a pretty good tailwind and hit over 650 mph.

                A European MD90 or an American MD90?

                      I wasn't going to point it out.

                          Airspeed is about 430 knots. The 110 knot jetstream you guys had at your tail probably helped a lot.

                            Yeah, well, I try to avoid JFK too.

                            And today, in sharp contrast to CDG, AMS has been awesome as usual. Quick, efficient, easy to navigate, friendly. I don't know why I ever book flights to Europe where I don't fly through Schipol. One of my favorite airports.

                            Edit: also, forgot to mention, CDG lost one of my bags on my way to Tyumen. Got to Moscow, only 1 showed up. Luckily Aeroflot is competent, and even despite a language barrier, they found my bag in Paris, called Air France on the spot, and got it on the next Aeroflot flight out of CDG. You know it's bad when you have to have the Russians fix your **** ups.
