Seat Trivia
21 июля 2025 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 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 useЧитать далее
Flight Status
21 июля 2025 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 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 toЧитать далее
TSA PreCheck
21 июля 2025 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 86 °F
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!

21 июля 2025 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 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 seatЧитать далее
Carry-on
21 июля 2025 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 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 theyЧитать далее
And we're off!

Closer

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 thisЧитать далее

Latin America Outside Event
22 июля 2025 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F
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!
ПутешественникIt'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 июля 2025 г., Германия ⋅ 🌧 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,Читать далее
Wonder which came first......the Buffy drink, or the German drink? [Sharon]
ПутешественникIt's not a drink that they have over here. The hotel has orange juice, and they have grapefruit juice, so i mix them myself.
Pfand

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 bottleЧитать далее

Book burning
23 июля 2025 г., Германия ⋅ 🌧 64 °F
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,Читать далее
I don't think I would have liked that building. It looked weird to have empty book shelves. [Sharon]
ПутешественникIt wasn't an actual building. It was just a room that was built specifically to be looked at through that window.
