One for the Road...

5/1/2010 – 12:30 – Frankfurt, Germany

I’m sitting in the terminal in Frankfurt waiting for my flight to Riyadh. A few thoughts on the trip so far:

Sleeping on planes is impossible, especially when you are tall.

Germany is really green. I should enjoy it. It might be the last time I see landscape like this for a while.

The Frankfurt airport needs to work on its signage…or I need to work on my German. I some how managed to get my passport stamped twice while searching for my gate.

German women look a lot better than they sound.

There’s a group about to board a flight to Lagos living it up in the terminal. I wouldn't really fit in, but I’d like to party with those guys. They seem to know what they’re doing.

I feel like I need to have one last beer for good measure. Plus, I’m in Germany and they know a things or two about beer.

Traveling alone internationally always reminds me of how small one person really is. It’s both humbling and refreshing.

Airports are some of my favorite places. I can’t think of any other spot that brings together a more random sampling of unconnected people. They rarely talk to each other, but for a brief moment in time they share the same airspace.

AT&T’s international data plan is terrible…or I have no clue how to use it. Either way, I’m going to have to post this after the fact.
