Seat Trivia
21. juli, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
The seats on the plane (at least in coach) started with A and ended with K. But there are only 8 seats: 2-4-2. Which 3 letters didn't they use? :-)
Hint I'm pretty sure that Washington DC doesn't use two of the same letters in its street grid.

Flight Status
21. juli, Forente stater ⋅ ☁️ 86 °F
Like a good international traveler, I planned on getting to the airport 3 hours before my flight. Originally, the flight was at 5:35, but the flight got changed to a 6:45 flight. When I went to check-in, they asked if I saw the delay..... The flight is delayed until 9:10. They said I *should* still make my connecting flight. Good thing I gave myself a 4 hour layover! The positive, they gave me a whole $10 voucher that can only be used in specific places in the airport..... gee, thanks!Les mer

I love TSA PreCheck! There were 2 people in front of me. The entire process was 5-10 min from when i arrived at the "line" to when I got my bag back from the scan. Love it!

Grrr.....
21. juli, Forente stater ⋅ 🌙 79 °F
So, i was looking at my tickets, and when I checked in. They changed my 2nd flight to a flight that was going to take off 6 hours BEFORE we arrive in Frankfurt..... because i got rebooked, the seat that i had on my original flight was taken. The next flight had stand-by spots open. So now I'm flying at 2:30pm on Concord Airlines. Hopefully everything works out ok!Les mer

Carry-on
21. juli, Forente stater ⋅ 🌙 79 °F
So, Discover Airlines makes you weigh your carry-on if you want to bring it on as a carry-on. Not sure what happens if it's over the weight limit. I guess they'll make you check it. But will they charge you? That's what i want to know.Les mer

I had to check in again to get my new ticket. Technically, i could have used a machine or my phone app, but because Lufthansa sent my bag, I wanted to make sure Condor knew it was getting on this flight. Everything was set up correctly though!
Just made it through security. Now I wait for the flight to Berlin!Les mer

Right by the World Clock, they had a band and all kinds of food/drink trucks. I got a quessadilla and some churros. Not German at all. But it's still fun to be at the celebration!

Is that chocolate on the fries??????????? [Sharon]
23.07.2025SvarOversette
ReisendeIt's Nutella, which is like chocolate, but they aren't fries. Churros are made from (i think) the same thing as donuts. Except when these are fried, they are in stick form.

Breakfast
23. juli, Tyskland ⋅ 🌧 61 °F
Nice breakfast spread at this hotel. One odd thing was that they had some desserts out (cookies and something similar to an Entenmanns doughnut but in a cake form). One cool thing is that they have, what I call the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer Drink". In one of the episodes, she is sick and asks her mom to give her a glass of juice that is 2 parts orange and 1 part grapefruit. It's actually pretty good!Les mer

Germans LOVE to recycle. Heres an example of how they force you to do it too. This water cost €0.29 (sooo cheap). BUT they charge and extra €0.25 as a bottle deposit. But, if you bring the bottle back and feed it to the machine, you get your €0.25 back. If you don't, you don't get the money back, and whoever ends up with the bottle (the hotel or somebody digging through the trash) gets the money.
Yes, i also bought 2 Coke Zeros. They're cheap, so might as well!Les mer

Walkative
23. juli, Tyskland ⋅ 🌧 63 °F
If you ever get a chance to travel abroad, check to see if Walkative (formerly FreeWalkingTours.com) is in your city. These tours are between 1 and 3 hours. They dont change you a fee for the tour (you do need to do the free registration prior to the tour because they need at least 5 people). The only cost is the tip that you choose to give your tour guide. The website says people tip between €10 and €50 depending on the quality and length of the tour. I typically either do €10 or € 20. They are typically in English although there are some time slots with other languages (usually Spanish or the local language). It's a great way to see the city on foot!Les mer

This was one of the places that had a massive book burning. In total, there were over 20,000 books burned. It is in a square that also has a university building.
They put a little memorial there, which is in the ground. You look through the window and you see empty book shelves.Les mer
