Hi loyal readers! (aka my friends under extreme duress)
I'm back after a travel hiatus of just under 30 days.
First of all, there's a glitch in my posterous account that's posting from my new concept facebads.posterous.com (the service is really awesome, a buddy of mine started it, and you should sign up at www.posterous.com) I will fix that shortly. I'm not converting this blog into a facebook ad critique circus... yet.
So I just checked in online at BA.com and got my travel companions back row seats in the premium economy section. Only 36 in our premium economy cabin versus 227 in the back two cabins of coach. Woo hoo! Apparently our back row seats will recline all the way... crossing my fingers. The gang and I scored RT tickets for around $500 which also includes a $50 one way upgrade to Premium Economy on my SFO to London leg. I went for it because of peer pressure, but secondarily because there's 2'' extra legroom 2-4-2 seat rows instead o 3-4-3 rows and electrical plugs in all the seats. I haven't flown BA since I was 10 years old and I don't have great memories (because Singapore Air just rocks the house) so I hope to make some good one's tomorrow!
Most of you know I'm headed to Europe for 2 months, but what you may not know is that I've only planned out 10 of those days, the other 50 are quite up in the air although plans are starting to coalesce around cities where I've got some college buddies and dare I say it, the middle east! More on that when things get finalized.
Our high school crew, which will be 6 people strong on Monday, will be in London for 4 days and then 5 of us will be moving on to Barcelona for another 4-5 days.
Please post any "must see" attractions in the comments section and a question I have for anyone reading this is: what's your take on the value of a EuroRail Pass? There are several types and I'm considering picking one up since I'll be in Europe for so long, but with 1 way flights relatively cheap (avg around $50) I'm wondering if it makes sense. Thanks for any input!
