NH Frankfurt Niederrad

The beer and Valium may cause a slightly hazy navigational experience while trying to catch my next flight. This will in no way cause me to actually avoid these drugs, but rather it will simply push me to do a bit of extra planning while still state-side.
I'll look up the map of the airport.
I'll work out my route from one gate to the next.
I'll look into specific landmarks to help jog my potentially foggy ...

... Well here's the story:

After having met a bunch of design students "by chance" (still don't believe in chance though ;) at a party,

[to be continued]

I reckon this trip will help me to make some awesome pictures.

... Now we can’t wait to go back and spend more time in Sulzbach so we can tour the orchard!

We had a great dinner with great company, we reminisced about their trips to Florida and the Gators-Vols game, we learned more about the 2009 Oktoberfest songs and found out the Nadine was to perform one of them at the local festival later in the month, and then we drove back to their apartment to see all of the American sports paraphernalia hanging ...

... seats on a fully booked flight and telling one of the 2 people to take her old seat. Then, because she was in an emergency exit, her purse had to be stowed for take-off and landing and she wasn’t about to give up her purse to the flight attendant without a fight. The Shrieking Babies parents had to be told first on take-off and then on landing (like the rules had maybe changed) that the toddler had to sit buckled in her own seat and not on their laps.

... catch up, and a zoo seems to be such a place...and thirdly, my dear angel read or heard somewhere that Frankfurt had a good zoo...well, that is not so!...I suppose different people have different standards of "good", and by my standards it was quite mediocre...but we had a good time anyway... unfortunately Alice had to go back home this same evening - she couldn't miss another day of school because ...

... and walk around and he is telling me this and that and then I FINALLY GET IT- he was saying Mainz - pronounced the same way as Mines and eh was talking about the CITY not about weird bombs or whatever! So I started laughing and told them and we were all laughing and the whole weekend ehr dad kept joking and joking! jennifer was like WOW you must REALLY trust me!!! So friday was Mainz, and sat was Frankfurt- it turns out he lives in the suburb that is in between Mainz, Frankfurt ...

... betray my friends at the night before hahaha anyway I was checked in after couple of minutes (really), went directly to the security gates: no queues, went to the gate just in time to boarding. In fact I just spend 1 hour for the whole thing. Not bad. It breaks my other records when I was going to Moscow or Seoul, but not sure if I should do the same again next time. Actually I need to relax and dont generate adrenalin, but it was cool.

... in many languages. We were somewhat worried that Gary's parents would be on the same flight to Istanbul but they were nowhere to be seen. The Turkish Air flight departed on time, Business Class on their 737-800 just consists of a row of coach seats with a table over the middle seat. The service was good and the wine was very nice.

... park. It was actually such a beautiful day that day. It was 17 degrees! That is unheard of for Winter. At this time of the year it is usually -17 in Germany. I decided that this was the first day I didn't need to wear a big bulky jacket and decided to travel light. THat would have been fine... but, generally when one thing goes wrong, more things will also. Remember my pathetic dinner and ballet night? Or hamburg and getting sick? SO, they say things ...

I've been in Frankfurt several times, mostly checking out the gift show in my capacity as a trade show geek in general, promoter of my frog line in particular. So I know the town a bit. But this time we merely pass through, in the middle of the night, right through the center ...
