The DUS Senator lounge in the non-Schengen area is fairly small, but has the standard good SEN selection of food and drink. There's not much else to do in that part of DUS. Haven't been in the business lounge there to compare.

My wife and I ate at Grazie with Hartmann and his wife a few months ago. IMO, the food was decent but nothing to write home about. The service was rather mediocre as well. They did have a decent wine list though.

I'm not sure I'd recommend eating anywhere in South Beach, but that's just me.

I'd say the only two things I liked about the place were the wine we had and the Wagyu beef carpaccio. Other than those two things, I thought the place was alright.

South Beach isn't for me though.

The Senator lounge in the part of DUS where the US flights leave from (non-Shengen) is quite nice :cool:.f

It still amazes me Palm hasn't died.

Unlike Palm, Google doesn't need a crazy event, they already have enough eyes on them and positive support. Palm on the other hand is struggling as their name is a secondary player and they rely on a network that isn't one of the top players. Palm has no choice but to put on a show.

I'm still not sure. I'm exhausted and the thought of another crazy trip with a hellish work trip wedged between the two isn't appealing at the moment.

I'd hate to see the crazy itin go to waste though, so that is keeping the dream alive.

Yes, EWR-FRA-DRS//PRG-DUS-EWR. EWR-FRA is on CO and the rest is on LH.

I thought you guys were fans of the woman dressed in nothing but a thong and body paint - no? :p

Yeah....

Believe it or not I had forgotten about that. The part where I finish with "you're taking a video of this, aren't you, mo***#$%##%#er" is pretty classy, I'm sure.

You mention a crazy itin without giving us the details? :)

This day has been awful.

In other news, there's a cutie seated next to me in the Pclub. :)

I have like 45 minutes in FRA before my connection to DRS, think I have time for a shower?
