Today I entered a new hemisphere with my flying experience. I am trying out Business Class for the first time. So far it is incredible. We are working from the Business Class Lounge in the airport.

Around The World in 1 Week: Arriving Frankfurt
posted by Daily Post from Bluxome Street
After 11 hours, my coworker – Zoya – and I arrived in Frankfurt. We were a bit bleary eyed and certainly tired. But it was a fantastic journey.

After seven wonderful days abroad, I have arrived back in San Francisco. How I miss my home town. The city of Emperor Norton, the city that popularized the Irish Coffee, the city of social deviants… how I missed thee.

7 DAYS IN GERMANY: LEAVING BERLIN
posted by Daily Post from Bluxome Street
