Happy New Year’s eve Oliver.
My last flights where with Ryanair and they now are playing this crazy tune before takeoffs and after landings in their planes. It drove me and my gf completely nuts. I saw an ad in the plane and I think they are even releasing it on CD. $&£@!
Hope your party goes well. Riga is very quiet this year, and I still can’t think of anything good to do tomorrow.

In Italy, only when there is a concert or a public party, a bottle of water can cost 5 €, and a bottle of beer 8 €. You can’t bring the bottle with you, so they give you the beer in two big plastic glasses.
Oliver, let me know when you come in Italy…I’ll sell you 6 bottles (1000 ml each one) for only 3 €. :D

Mr.Tunes,you’re meaning 10 €.
This is what a bottle like Evian but also S.Pellegrino cost in Ibiza.

Oliver have a great Last Year Eve and travel well!

Hey Oliver, Merry Christmas.
In the last three years, it’s become kind of a game my girlfriend and I play where we go through the motions and pick our seats online while buying the tickets, and then we guess how far away our actual seats will be from the ones we pick. Bonus points if we don’t even get to sit next to each other. So far, in probably a dozen round trips (which would be something like 48 individual flights) we’ve not got the seats we picked out one single time. And more often than not, we are no where near each other. This is usually straightened out at the gate when we show the gate agent our e-tix, and/or we nicely ask people on the plane to allow us to trade seats. It’s even better when I fly with my 8 and 10 year old kids.
But yeah, between that, the shoeless humiliation of TSA, and the $4.92 water bottles, flying is a real pain in the ass.
Not to mention when one buys a “United” ticket but the flight is entirely on USAir. When something goes wrong, USAir blames United, and United blames USAir. It’s a blast!
Happy New Year. Travel well.
