I spent last Saturday and Sunday traveling to Helsinki. Saturday I start the return trip. I have a few observations from my sleepless 24 hours.
- When using an airplane bathroom always follow a woman. Some men forget to sit while in flight.
- No matter where you are in the world, if you are in an airport you will see a man in western (“cowboy”) boots.
- On an overnight flight a baby will cry just as soon as you fall asleep, and again when you have fallen back to sleep, and again when you have fallen…
- If you have to make a connection in an airport there will be construction that will require a significant detour as you go from one concourse to the other.
I imagine I will have more observations to add after this weekend. Do you have anything to add?

– if you fly american, you will be delayed on the tarmac while they move a plane away from the gate where you’re supposed to park.
– on every plane you board, some dimwit will stand in the aisle fiddling with his bag while everyone else is trying to get seated.
– every flight will have to wait for a young couple- a young couple is always the last to board.
I find that they always run out of my preferred soft drink or snack right before the beverage cart gets to my aisle.
As for dudes sitting or standing: at 6’4″, I find it very difficult to regain my feet after sitting in a miniscule airplane bathroom, so I stand when possible.
Benj – I am 6’3″ and appreciate how small those toilets are, however that is no excuse! No one’s aim is that good…take a seat and spare the rest of us! 😉
If you decided to book a hotel when you get there, you can guarantee they are always full up.
If you book your hotel prior to leaving, then you are the only one in the hotel.
My favorite trick is I always forget my telephone charger.
Right now it seems like Drupal is the preferred blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
