ellefliesHello from seat 28C of a 757 sitting on the runway in Shannon, Ireland.
Just stopping for fuel and food as we continue the trek into Germany. I still find it bizarre to come onto a plane and work a flight with handguns and rifles and all sorts of other weapons shoved into every corner and under every seat. God bless the United States military :)
At least I get to get off in Germany, 2-something hours from now. These poor guys have another 7 hours of travel ahead of them into Kuwait and from there a good portion of them have a trek into Baghdad to look forward to. They're a fun bunch though- very clean. After doing mostly Africa flights this last month I'm very grateful to that fact.
At least in a few hours I'll know if going to Prague is going to be feasible. I want a stamp in my passport from the Czech Republic damnit - if I can swing it of course. With the whole European Union thing and the permeable borders I might not get it *crosses fingers*
Anyways, I am delirious from too much chocolate. European chocolate is the best - I hit the Shannon Airport duty free and am now stocked on Cadbury bars and Crunchie bars. *bliss*
btw, if anyone wants to try Crunchie bars, they are incredible. Milk chocolate surrounding a honeycomb center. If you suck on them you can really taste the honey. You can find them at a store on Greenwich Ave in Manhattan called Tea and Sympathy. They've got a great selection of British Candy (far superior to American)
