  • Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown

    I used to avoid ATL. Yeah, it's crowded and that's annoying. At least it's reasonably modern, and they do such a good job of just flat-out moving thousands of people.

    Of course, it helps that I have SkyClub access and I know which ones are usually the least crowded.

      The thing about LGA is it has been a nightmare since I was in high school, and I was in high school in 1979.

      BOS is the model for how to do it right. It used to be a clusterf-ck but since they finally, finally fixed the tunnels it's a breeze now.

        The TX airports I have been through have been great, other than being filled with Texans. DEN is my favorite, though.

          That's what LAX and LGA will eventually be, but it's going to take almost 10 years and Cthulu knows how many billions in cost overruns.

            I don't believe LGA will ever be fixed. They're the Mets of airports.

              Decided on Ann Arbor in January, Denver in June, and a return to the Twin Cities around Christmas next year.

              Not flashy, but I need to see cities that aren't Holland, Grand Rapids, or Muskegon.

                              Long time to plan this trip, but it's getting closer to reality!

                              Next year is our 25th anniversary, and on the 5's, we do something special- all of them have been to Europe. Spain, Spain, Italy, and Italy. The second Spain trip, we spent a lot of time finding out about my wife's family, and how they left Europe.

                              This time, it's my turn- we just booked our flights to Finland! Hope this works out, but there's a farm near the lake Lappajarvi that is where my last name comes from. Naturally, looking at google pictures of the area, it looks just like the UP, where my family immigrated to from Finland. Couple of days exploring there, couple of days in Finland, a couple more days in Barcelona, a week cruise, and we come home.

                              Fun part- with the cruise, we go back to two of the locations we did before- so in one trip, we visit the locations both of our families left from in roughly 1898.

                              Very excited about this trip!

                              For those of your from Minnesota, northern Wisconsin, or the UP, you should consider travelling to Scandinavia- it really looks the exact same. It was pretty freaky on my first flight to Gottenburg, I thought I was landing in Minnesota.

                                I had my first trip to Finland last winter. Loved it.
