Well, the flight was uneventful and now we are passing the time in the Frankfurt airport waiting for our connection.
Flying a non-American airline was quite bit different. Basically an open bar. Hot food. Not-horribly uncomfortable seats.
Its been a lot of fun talking to our guests. Right now they are at the gate, sitting in a circle, swapping stories. Its only been a few hours, but there already have been a lot of connections made.
OK, Ive got about an hour to grab a bite and head back to gate. I saw a pretzel vendor that looked good. And Ill be flying back through next week. I can decide then if I should buy the touristy stein I saw.
Sorry about punctuation. I cant find the apostrophe on the keyboard!
About Me
- Eric Rangus, Emory Alumni Association
- I'm an amateur when it comes to European travel. In North America, though, I'm pretty good. I've visited 44 states--missing ME, NJ, MT, UT, AK, and HI--and five Canadian provinces (BC, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec). One thing I've always found fun is to incorporate a visit to a baseball park in my travels. I think a lot of people do that. This year I've added two stadiums to my list: Safeco Field in Seattle and Fluor Field in Greenville, SC (home of Boston's A-ball team). The Italian Job marks a huge jump in my travel experience. I'd like to think I'm gonna know what I'm doing, but I don't speak Italian, and I actually didn't know until a few months ago about Milan's place as a fashion capital. For readers who know me, this probably doesn't come as a surprise. While I work for the EAA, I'm not an Emory alumnus. I was born in Chicago and I grew up in Florida; I graduated from Florida State University and the University of Georgia. However, I've spent more than eight years on the Emory staff (the last 2 1/2 with the EAA). Before that, I worked in University Communications. I like telling Emory stories, and I really like working with Emory alumni.
