PH ZRH is pretty (my previous word was redacted).

GVA is good for finding the attractive women from around the world, they all converge there :D ZRH probably has a fair amount I am sure :)

btw how did you manage to survive in Y?

I don't know how I managed - I suspect the 1.5 liters of wine may have helped after a number of doubles in the SkyClubs (BNA, JFK B12, and JFK Business). When the first FA opened the first, I stated "you may as well keep that here" - can you imagine if I weren't in an exit row?

Also - I've noticed that I'm tall enough to take advantage of the emergency exit slide near 18E as a modified headrest on a 757-200E. I may have slept a few minutes since yesterday 5 a.m. Central. About to get some lunch in ZRH.*

* To those coming to ZRH - in the city center, 15 CHF for a fast food lunch is apparently a screaming deal and McDonald's seems too popular.

In addition to my Hyatt food amenity, free breakfast, and bottled water, there are two peaches, two pears, two apples, two kiwi fruit, and a bunch of grapes on my table. And I'm about to earn a lot more Hyatt points by taking lunch in the hotel (Platinum Extra). ^

Might not have to pay for food again until I get home, depending upon what the AF ZRH Lounge and various DL JFK SCs have tomorrow - yesterday, JFK B12 had a really good seafood salad, finger sandwiches, mousse, fruit, bread, etc.

Good morning box. I am getting on Marta to collect my fencing gear from my old club.

That sounds yummy. Won't the avacado mellow out the the prosciutto to the point of it not being there?

I need some Box input on SPG properties In San Francisco. Any thoughts between the Palace Hotel, W or one of the Westins? I think I'm leaning towards the Westin St. Francis...

Also, has anyone stayed at the Sheraton Sonoma County in Petaluma? The Westin Verasa Napa is not available and this seems like the next best SPG option in the Sonoma/Napa area.

I recommend the St Regis, where I am staying tonight. The st Francis is nice and in a great location, but the rooms tend to be small. You stand a good chance of a Play upgrade, though.
