Why I left:
They were swine flu paranoid. Just kidding...but the people and government are addressing the issue a lot more seriously than those in the US. Alcohol swabs are applied to every door handle and they have even provided the kids with face masks.
Just kidding. Like the rest of America, I'm indifferent, nonchalant, about this virus. While an epidemic is a cause for worry, the fatality is low.
I left for a wedding.
On my journey home, I saw surprising sites. (Note to self: I am not bringing my cat through Amsterdam)
The flight was nice, where we all got our own "Amusement" screen with TV shows, movies, music, games, news, etc..
The only international flight I've been without this: United Airlines >_<
And we got these cute yummy sandwiches with a history/lineage=)
And on the longer flight I got a cute box with my name on it (cause I ordered a special vegetarian meal). I was served a salad, chocolate cake, goooey pasta mush with pumpkin seeds, water and a breadroll with margarine <-- yuck =( I couldn't find the: I like cheese, butter, and all dairy products, but I just don't want to eat meat, meal.
I really do enjoy flying. When I was little I wanted to be an astronaut maybe just for the view from the sky.
Going over near the top of the world was beautiful. I went way out of my way to get window seats and my forehead was almost forever pressed against the window. I even cleaned them with my wet towels.
They have strange things in the airplane catalog. I could find this useful, but I'd have to carry it around and then set it up = a bit weird and too much work.
Here was the trip on my way back from Romania.
Here are the Rockies. You can take pictures once we past 10,000 ft altitude.
Here was the last thing I indulged in before I left the US continent.
Mocha frappacino...mmmm. They didn't syrup the top, but it's okay.
Amsterdam's airport is big.
Amusement screens again =D
But boo! Amsterdam's KLM and US staffed KLM = different!
There were a gazillion announcements I didn't care about, which were repeated over and over again. The headsets were so cheap, my broke after 5 hours of use. I got only 2-3 drinks and a weak meal. Look:
My egg thing wasn't an egg. Something yellow and rubber that was tasteless. the banana was good, but I was hungry. They charged for alcohol and for snacks >|
Expensive snacks too.
My KLM from Amsterdam-> Romania gave me more food in that 2 hour flight than my 14 hour international flight.
BTW: Custom rules. The US is anal about what we can bring in, and they'll fine you even if you accidentally bring something in. Romania doesn't care, nor really Amsterdam.
I had a stowaway. It was a triumphant treat after my long journeying.
