Still waiting for confirmation of GG's arrival in the Eternal City. Be sure to check back during the day for more updates.
Thanks!
My daughter just enjoyed the services of Iberia (the Spanish national airline.) She had a very good time. A much better time than she had with Delta, which (1) cancelled her connection, causing her almost to miss Iberia (they held the plane for her!) (2) lost her luggage and (3) really didn't care much.
I have flown Delta all my life (even met Mr. Woolman the then-president of the airline while flying at age 7! He gave me a little gold DC-7 lapel pin, which I still have!) but I have been VERY disappointed with them the last several flights I or my family have taken. My time limit for driving as opposed to flying just expanded.
Ah, the charming world of travel.
Gipps has me very jealous! Good luck to her!
That's airport capitalism for you. They know that they've got you. It's not like you can go to the next block and find a store that sells it cheaper. They figure if you're wealthy enough to be flying, you can probably spare a few extra bucks here or there. I have never been to an airport where the shops weren't overpriced.
