In a NY state of mind

Why is it that drivers from NY Laguardia to White Plains think you need to be there minus 5 minutes ago and drive like lunatics to get you there?  45 minutes later, I'm nearly sick upon arrival to either destination.  Stumbling out of the car just needing the ground under my feet to feel right again. 

Up and back in a day - nice to be home again after dinner.  It is like I never left.

Ein paar Worte auf Deutsch

I've decided in my limited awareness and use of German that one of my favorite words to say in German is Flughafen (airport).  Between that and Bahnhof (main train station), I'm usually well covered anyway.  Gotta luv small German towns.  Enjoyed a very pleasant 4 days in Bad Laer last week. Summer that's more like spring.  I'll take that any day, even if it is the smallest hotel room I've ever been in.   Cheers.

 

Electricity for all

Finally a hotel that understands the pain!  Thank you London. The cost?  A view of .. well.. nothing - the downside of airport hotels in London since few have much of a view to speak of.  

Other interesting events this trip....the Heathrow Hoppa Bus had a scuttle with a car - a bit of a bump as they were changing lanes.  No damage but the car driver got out and proceeded to spend a long 5 minutes yelling at the bus driver (and he in return) about whether two wrongs make a right.  Honestly, I just quietly wondered how far is the walk to Terminal 3.  Glad to be back in the bloody US. 

Rubbish.
