Indeed, excelsior!

You're very right there. The only thing, really, is probably the ease with which you can get a cool clerkship, and maybe your first firm.

But you're right.

Snacking in the real ATL E Lounge - couscous with shrimp, roasted tomatoes with goat cheese, wraps, cheese, dried fruit, and Woodford Reserve. Think I can make it through the afternoon.

That's one of the very, very few things I'll miss about SkyTeam.

I would have at least opened it before I threw it. :o

Being ATL-based, I can see how you would be here during WX delays, VDBs, and such. And the ATL-BOS flight happens to be a dinner flight in F. I did just go up to get a refresh on all the items mentioned previously. I tried one dessert but didn't much care for it.

Off to meet the wife at the fanciest I-Talian restaurant in NYC, The Olive Garden. I got a $30 gift card for filling out a survey ;)

There are some things the chain makes that I appreciate - the fried calamari, seafood stuffed mushrooms, etc. I tend to put together appetizers to make dinner there.

Soup, salad, and breadsticks are ok with me. I don't really do much else there.

One of the colleagues over in SkyTeam USA commented on US' boarding process. I openly laughed and others in the immediate area probably think I'm crazy.

I had lunch at Panera today and they asked me if I wanted mayo on my tuna sandwhich. Doesn't tuna already have mayo? Why would I need more? The woman thought I was strange for not wanting added mayo and asked me twice, looking at me is disbelief when I said no both times.

Greetings from C in an LH 321 for FRA-MUC. The *A Do was off-the-charts amazing. I haven't slept in a while but I don't really care. It was worth it. I also now have Freddie Jr. to travel with a bit. Good times.

The FRA facilities tour is plane-spotting nirvana. We saw the CO flight to IAH take off. It was really funny when a Boxian (I don't remember which) claimed that it was the EWR flight and our tour guide smacked him down with that actual schedules for the flights. She was awesome, just like the tour was. I highly recommend it. I may even do it again in December on the way to Cairo.

I hope y'all are doing well. This week was one amazing experience after another. Really just amazing.

Yeah, I still and am having trouble forming coherent thoughts. It sucks.

Coherent Thoughts. I am posting from the bar at Seahiem!! I am going great :/

Here are some pictures I thought you would like:
