Month: December 2005

Now the post from Calgary, Canada, North America, Northern Hemisphere, Earth, Solar System, Milky Way. Arrived home on time 4:00 p.m.

The Air Canada flight was nice. The seat was comfortable and service and food good. The TV screen was a good size, video on demand. Pretty good, could have been more TV shows though.

I’m trying to set a world record for blogging. Well not really but who knows.

I’m now in Frankfurt, the last post was from Bahrain and if I post when I get to Calgary that is three continents in less than 24 hours.

The flights were Kuwait to Bahrain then Bahrain to Frankfurt on Gulf Air. Bahrain airport looks like it has good duty free and prices but not time or money. It is of course, Gulf Air’s home. Gulf Air has a nice lounge there, good free wireless. I am paying for this one in the Lufthansa Lounge.

The flight to Frankfurt had very little overhead storage. No central section which made the plan feel larger but no space for bags! I wouldn’t say Gulf Air is the best airline, but it wasn’t bad.

Frankfurt Weather
As you see below cloudy. Coming in for landing at 7:30 a.m. you couldn’t see the ground. Of course I don’t plan on going outside, not worth it in the time I have.

Well the next flight is at 2:00 p.m. so 6 1/2 hours to kill in the lounge.

I put my name on the list for a shower and as I have so much time I actually got my shower two hours after being on the list! Of course this was a busy morning here.

Now while I went to the shower I shutdown the computer and the stupid Vodaphone Internet that I paid for kept counting time. So only a few minutes left.

Well, tonight I’m outta here. Back to Calgary to pack up house and family and all return to Kuwait together in January.

Use this site to see where you end up! Though it seems to jam up for Calgary and seems to end up in Antartica.

And it this wasn’t fun try this optical illusion.
