Made it to Prague

We made it. A bit of a long trip, but it couldn't have gone smoother. A quick summary.

We rolled once in Dallas, but made it out to ORD a bit late. Had 30 mins to make it to our flight to LHR (heathrow) and should have been in first, but a screw up by the agent in dallas didn't have us listed, and since we were late showing up, they'd already put some people with lower non rev status in first, so we went to business which was fine. We got to sit together. The seats were our new lie flat fully robotic seats, so we slept a little. The food and drinks were great, and we each took in a movie.

We had a 5 hr layover in LHR, and figuring out how to Nonrev on BA was interesting. They basically have this little room for all nonrevs. You list at a computer terminla bank, then wait until 60 mins prior to your departure, and your flight and ref # appear on a screen saying, yes, no, or maybe. When you get the yes, you have to check your bag, get through security, and to your gate. By the time we found out they had room for us, it was a mad dash through security and to the plane. We did spend all 5 hrs ofthe layover and fly out of the new Terminal 5, which was a $1B project for BA. Very nice terminal. Like a Nordstroms inside. They didn't loose our bags (Term 5 has cost BA hundreds of millions in lost bags fees in the first 4 months its been open).

Our hotel is great. We're on the top floor with a vaulted ceiling, very clean, has internet obviously, we just ate a great breakfast, etc. We ate dinner last night at a micro brewery recommended by a friend called Pavorsky Dum. It was a 10 min walk from here. Outstanding. I had a sampler with 8 flights of beer including a banana, dark cherry, coffee, pale, dark, wheat, pilsner, and something called nettle in the flight. For the meal, I had beef in "Candlesauce" with Czech dumplings for dinner last night. Ingrid had beef goulash. We finished dinner off with an Apple Struddle.

We're off to Prague Castle today, and might see about taking in a symphony or Opera tonight. There is a Spring concert fest going on that we'd like to take advantage of. This place is very amazing. The weather is great, and everything is green and in bloom.

ps. still trying to get twitter working on the international cell phone. Stay tuned.
