(6,261 posts)Has it finally joined the rest of the civilised world and been made non-smoking? The smoke used to be really thick inside there, especially the restaurants and I always wound up with a throbbing headache there which would nag me throughout the subsequent flight.
I'm not one who says change is always for the better, but hey, at least there's no more smoking on aeroplanes

(149,607 posts)So of course the smokers cluster right outside, making us run the gauntlet!
I'm sorry you had to endure the awful headaches...

(149,607 posts)I'm feeling pretty strong, which makes me happy! And the worst of the jet lag is hopefully behind me...
The fun starts officially Wednesday night, at our welcoming reception...

(149,607 posts)It's good! We always hop over to Europe this way; it really helps us get over the jet lag, which seems to get worse every time!
Good to see you, sweetie!
On edit: just wanted to tell you how much I love your sigline!

Glad you're having a good trip!

(149,607 posts)I'm so far away from all of you now, and it feels very strange!
We're probably at least 6000 miles from California by now....
So it's great to have all of you come by...
Glad you enjoyed my little offering!

Where are you off to?
CaliforniaPeggy
(149,607 posts)It's a nice hotel, but omigod, the last thing you want is a tutorial on how to make the fucking lights work!
We're off to Rome today. It's the "real" start to our trip, the genuine focus!
