Me and my roommate Dan. He's a turbine engineer at Honeywell so he might even have been more interested in this stuff than me. Many of his company's products are in the A380 that we're going to see.
Tell Airbus that the entertainment systems on their USAirways/American A330s suck. The user interface is abysmal, the screen rarely registers a touch, and it's not fair that ours didn't work but the guys' across the aisle did. Wah, first world problems. Pal

The immense castle & town of Carcassonne. A little touristy but the castle and town inside the old city walls were cool. Huge- our guide said the city walls were 5 km long with over 50 towers.
