Home sweet sweet home

Thanks to the wireless, my time at Portland airport flew by. Flight to Amsterdam was very nice and peaceful. Probably one of the best flights I've had in the past 10 years. Plane was less than half full, 75% of people did not have to share their row with anybody (well, not the whole row but the seats located right next to each other I mean: 2+4+2 seats in a row and 3 people sitting in one row only). As I was quite up front I got all the luxuries one can imagine, 2 seats to myself, electric outlet, personal TV's/entertainment center and so on. There was very little turbulence and again I managed to get few hours of very good sleep on the plane. Although it was a tough decision to sleep as there were many good movies to watch :)

Amsterdam airport - well free wireless is really nice of course, but it is truly useless if there are no electric outlets by the most sitting areas. I found one plug, but none of my cords fit in there and the adapter was in my checked in luggage :( Flight to Tallinn seemed to last forever. Plane was not very full, which made it a bit better, but oh the minutes were just dragging by. After 2 long flights and 12 hours of sitting at the airports I was really anxious to be done with flying. And my luggage did not make it :( they forgot it to Portland and will be delivered to me later :( My coat was packed in there though :) so run to the car was fast :)

My family was there to greet me at the airport - with flowers and birthday songs :) Thank you!

It is always nice to return home, no matter where one comes from or how long one has been away. Although I really would not have minded to stay in Hawaii for couple of more months :)

As always, I'm getting great ideas already about my future travels. Plans are forming in my head, ideas are there and my imagination is running wild. More on the subject in couple of months - stay tuned!

Thank you for visiting, reading and comments. Take care and spread the love (suggested by my boss on Valentines :) ) - hang loose!
