The waiting game

After Jude and Grayson dropped me off in Milwaukee, my waiting game began. I waited a couple of hours there before taking off on time, 4 hours in Copenhagen before boarding the flight to Palanga. It does seem like a waste of time, but on the other hand, Jude and I have been known to dash through Some airports--Amsterdam, Warsaw--to name a few and that was not fun either. But since I remain my own travel agent, I am just happy when I get to my destination...it's the simple things in life that matter.

One cool thing that happened in Copenhagen though. My seat assignment was row 39A-- a window seat. There were 46 rows. They deboarded the plane from the rear...how cool. My misfortune turned to fortune.

People watching from the Starbuck's made the time go a little quicker. I never go to Starbuck's in the States--I refuse to pay those prices when I can make my own for fraction of the cost. But here it's different. I paid 4.38 euros ( it all seems like monopoly money) $5.44. But it was a large , and it did help pass the time, and can you tell I am rationalizing...No matter the price, this place has had long lines for two hours...the economy among travelers must be good or they are rationalizing like me.

When I left Milwaukee, it was 57 F, Copenhagen was 52 F, Palanga was 54 F and Shymkent will be 93 F. Go figure. Landed in Palanga and was greeted with blustery winds and a driving rain...gotta love it.
