Sunset over the clouds was hoping for sunset views landing in Barcelona, but flight delays so this instead.

We're mostly vegetarian at home, but I've long since given up ordering the vegetarian option on planes. Too much of a risky dice-throw.

International trains )&^#$%^&(!!
(or should we say: room for improvement)

Daughter travels to Bilbao for surfing holiday. Friend takes plane, daughter takes train.
@Eurostar to Paris: Surfboard, no problem.
@TGVINOUI Paris-Biarritz: Surfboard?! Illegal! That'll be €150 fine.

Also TGVINOUI: Bicycle? Yeah, we have a separate section for that. Ticket is €10.
Airline: Surfboard? Sure, that'll be €50.

I was wondering about the longest domestic trip you could do by air in Australia. Glancing online, it looks like flying from the Cocos Islands in the Indian Ocean to Norfolk Island in the Pacific (via Perth and Sydney) would take about 12 hours flying time, not factoring in the transit time at airports. That would be one long trek!

Why you should never post a picture of your boarding pass on social media... Did you know your boarding pass contains more personal information than meets the eye?

Walking path in the clouds.
After the recent headlines about Boeing, it is kind of comforting to know where to walk away if there is an issue.

Fusspfad in den Wolken.
Nach all den Schlagzeilen über Boeing ist es doch beruhigend, zu wissen wohin man weglaufen kann bei einem Problem.

"Meanwhile, the company has filled our skies with at least 420 airplanes with defective, red-painted parts that were locked up in the MRSA cage, then snuck out and fitted to an airplane that you or someone you love could fly on the next time you take your family on vacation or fly somewhere for work."

Awkward. At one point the trip I'm taking to Queensland today (I'm currently on a Qantas plane) was supposed to be on Bonza. Lucky that didn't happen.

After . Sorry I missed our morning gathering. Was busy getting the rest of my stuff gathered for my trip today.

About to head out to the airport in a bit. This coming week I’ll be sharing my conference and trip to Vegas here and on my Pixelfed account @beardedtechguy.
