Thoughts from Holland (I)

Monday morning 6:30 AM... The pilot takes the microphone and starts talking in dutch to the passengers... I can already imagine... malfunction in the airplane, snow in Madrid, impossible weather to travel etc.

The he turns to english and announces that there are 32 passengers missing from a connecting flight, that their luggage is already being loaded and they should be arriving within 15 minutes. So, all this fuss about a 15 minutes delay?!?!?!?! Yep! Afterwards, he comes through the cabin answering questions from the passengers... cool stuff! Good reminder of some advantages about living in northern "developed" Europe!

Carpe diem!

Hi Nuno,
Was great to catch up. The reunion made me remember blogging! Indeed, these meetings are refreshing - meeting friends and recollecting the moments!
Have a great time!
