Guten Morgen!

 Made it! My first time back to Berlin since '72. And my first ever arrival at Tegel.

May also be my last, since there are plans to close by 2020-2021.

Maidin Mhaith II

 

I'm just imagining the Irish folk down there just waking up to their . . .

As all of you know who have ever flown internationally from the east coast of the United States to Europe, flights often leave late so that they can arrive at their destinations early the next day.

One of the advantages to this flight was being able to watch the sun rise over Ireland.

Berlin Bound

 

Finally! After several hours of waiting, my connecting flight to Berlin is being prepared for departure. Now for many more hours of sitting and waiting aboard this 777 as it wings its way across the Atlantic.

Weed Whacker

First leg of my trip back to Eastern Europe--Newark International Airport aboard the "weed whacker" as someone I know affectionately called it. Weed whacker or not, it got me to Newark in plenty of time to catch my flight to Berlin. Thanks, United Express!
