Meaningful Moment

On the rapid express train, met a woman from the Ukraine who was vacationing in Munich with her parents, and they are all now on the way to her home which is in Bangkok now.

Also met a woman who is headed to the airport to meet her boyfriend and they will be vacationing in Munich.
She told me that they called the combination of Deutschebahn which is the train system and Telekomm which is the phone and internet network system and the Post which is the post office are collectively referred to in Munich as the axis of evil. Lol

Also chatted with a few other people because the rapid Express train was in a combination of running late and stopping short of the airport, requiring an unexpected transfer for everybody on the training. Lol

My flight to Lisbon is delayed 20 minutes.

Random Thought of the Day

Not today. Just want to be home.

On the Road / Notable memories


07:45 Up and at'em. 
09:00 at the rapid transit system waiting for the train to the airport.
10:30 train is now not going to the airport, have to transfer to another platform to get a second train.
11:00 at Munich airport
11:30 at the gate. Boarding was supposed to start in half an hour. Flight is delayed 20 minutes. ... Make that 45 minutes.
13:15 Take off from Munich. With a cat in the row behind me. 
15:45 Land in Lisbon. Flight to JFK is boarding. Ran like crazy but made it.
16:30 Boarding
20:00 Landed JFK
20:15 CLEARED Immigration and Customs
     JFK is a joke. After using global entry and getting right thru, I waited about 20 minutes for my checked-thru backpack, and had to carry it from terminal one to terminal five because there was no site to return it
     Then I had to go thru TSA again and they had TSA pre-check closed. 
22:15 Boarding in JFK for the flight home.
22:35 Wheels up.
11:50 Landed Rochester.





S-bahn to the airport


Lisbon weather. This why flight schedules were backed up.


Boarding in Lisbon.
