I have not written in 6 month's, and even had a hard time remembering my blog here. So much has happened! Where to begin? I started a new job at the end of Feb. love it, and the challenges of learning something new. I have had to up the intake of my ginko. It is sometimes over whelming what info goes into the brain. Resources lay dormant only to be dredged up and put into service once again.
I left on a Friday night, it was so sad to leave my Swef, he cried, I cried, but we both knew that I needed and deserved this trip. I felt at ease after getting on the plane, the anticipation of the long flight and the adventure that lay at my feet. I'm in the window seat, and luckily a nice female student sits in the aisle. We have room to spare. I am very impressed by the crew on the flight. They keep food and drink coming. The food on all Air France flights is stupendous, would you expect any less? It's so funny at one point they come by and tell everyone to close their window blinds, like a giant camp outing "Lights out" ! People abide by this, it is really funny to be told now, you must sleep! What about those of us who try to get on a European time schedule? That is the suggestion by all travel pro's to try and eliminate jet lag problems. The flight is great, I land in London and must get to Lufthansa soon, or at least find out where it is. I have 3 hours to get through customs and get on a flight to Frankfurt. I have plenty of time and take great joy and changing dollars to pounds and look for some food. It is such a joy to discover an airport store with sandwiches that you've never heard of. Cucumber and cream cheese? Tuna and corn? So many wierd varieties. It is a passion of mine to snoop foreign grocery stores, trying to make out what I'm looking at. It's a grocery game show, you are the host and contestant. Some things you purchase you win, some you loose, but it's always exciting to discover.
