Thankfully, this last flight was as smooth as silk. The flight was empty, I slept the whole way and even got in a little early. After a short ride I was home.



That picture of all my airplane loot will close us out except for a few last thoughts. I had a really wonderful time on this trip. I loved Prague, liked Vienna, had a blast in Paris and ate heartily in all cities. I ended up coming in about $75 under budget, all my hotels were fine, and minus US Airways, every flight was near to on time. For a trip that started with a near heart attack, everything else was an unqualified success. I must admit I had been worried I wouldn't be able to handle it, the loneliness, the language barrier, the time off work, but it went far better than I dared to expect.

Basically, I can't wait until I build my mileage balances back up so I can do this all over again. Oh and if you got this far, thanks for reading, it means a lot to me. Feel free to post any comments or questions.
