From the flight...
First off, Lufthansa: Airbus A340-600, comfy seats, plenty of room even in economy class, decent food, free wine (notice the theme developing here) and best of all, Internet access. Free Internet access at that. This post is brought to you from 35000 feet, somewhere just south of James Bay in Canada. The GPS maps indicate that we will fly to Frankfurt passing over Newfoundland, Greenland, probably Denmark and then into Germany.
As a egocentric American, it is a little different hearing the in flight announcements and service requests in German first. However, they are pretty good at remembering that we are English speakers, either that or it is pretty easy to put us in the American slot. We have been pegged. I suspect we will get used to that.
They did change our seats from what we requested on Expedia. Hopefully that will be the last of any unexpected surprises from that quarter. I tried to book directly with everyone, however there were times that it was just easier, or not possible due to server errors, etc.
The movies should be starting soon, and sleep beckons.

Just figured I'd add that, accoring to Babel Fish/Altavista, the German translation of "Yuppy Scum" is "Yuppy Abschaum," while in Italy the phrase apparently translates to "Schiuma Yuppy." Apparently, no translation is required in any other location to refer to someone or oneself as a Yuppy.
Have fun, y'all.
I don't get yuppy scum at all..am I showing my age? You can be a yuppy, but why the "scum"..? Certainly you don't consider yourself "scum"?
Thanks for the detailed info on you flight and NO your not yuppy scum. Where did that come from???? Love you both, Mom
You dirty dogs, yuppie scum!!! I wish I was with you guys so I could say "I could live here"!!! Have a GREAT trip!!!
