Back across the pond.....

Two transatlantic trips in two months! Oh, and one cross country trip for good measure! Yeesh! Since reality needs to set in and our hiatus needed to end we are back in Vienna (finally) now. Anyway, the last 48+ hours went something like this: we left from Chicago O'Crappy at 4pm. Spent 8 hours in the air. Fortunately it was aboard KLM. Not Delta. Delta Sucks. Then spent 10 hours in Amsterdam's Schiphol airport. It's a cool airport, but any 10 hour layover sucks. Still, I'm glad it was in Schiphol and not Heathrow. Especially with the Olympics going on, that would have been a mess. Ok, back on topic, after Amsterdam it was only a 2 hour puddle jump to Vienna. I gotta say, Schiphol was really cool for a international terminal. It' HUGE! plus they have really nice reclining chairs to crash on in some designated quiet areas. I needed to work on mobility after such a long flight so I did that for an hour and got in some pushups - highly recommended after a flight! Which brings me to another cool point: they have showers. So be sure to bring sandals if you ever find yourself here. I didn't. Gross I know but I needed that shower. At least I was smart enough to bring fresh underwear and socks! With both of those amenities (showers & nice reclining chairs) why splurge on a expensive lounge when you can use it for free? (35 euro/$50 pp for 3 hours in a lounge is steep) Oh, and they have two musuem exhibits in there too. One for Gin and one for Art. If you thought I had time to check out the gin one you's be wrong. If you thought I checked out the art one you would also be wrong. It was as nice as a transatlantic flight could be, I'm not jet lagged as bad as I was last time. But I still need some sleep!

Good night North America

Good morning Europe!
