Well after all the planning and packing and stressing we are now finally relaxing at the airport waiting for the flight (that is now delayed by 30 minutes :), although apparently we’ll still get in on time!
We’re flying on Finnair which is part …
of One World. I thought they were going to give us access to the Admirals club but turns out they use Cathay and Air France lounges! We opted for the Cathay lounge but either one would be way above the Admirals Club!
We watched Anthony Bourdain on Sunday, it was the Berlin episode. We watched with interest to see if there were any places he went that might be good. Berlin looks like a tough city and clubbing isn’t our thing, and neither is being dragged along by my nipples by a strongman … you’ll need to watch it to understand.
But really, what a total bummer that “Tony” (can I call him that?) kills himself just before our Big Trip where being a foodie and following his lead was our inspiration. Now every time we hit a A.B. location, we’ll get depressed… thanks a lot Tony.
Looking forward to Helsinki, read Zhaoyang’s post for the background and history … I’m excited for her to be seeing all these countries and learning about so many new places! It’s going to be a great trip!
You stole my photo! 😅
