Goodbye San Francisco. From here we go up over Canada, pass over Greenland and Iceland. The pilot says no worries about the ash. The volcano has calmed down and we are too high for it anyway. He said it with an air of surety. So here we go....
Two Story Airplanes are usually reserved for "over the ocean" type of flights. We sat and watched this United B 757 for too long before checking in at Lufthansa only to find that they had given our First Class Seats away!. We like to fly First Class when going overseas. It gets you there more rested and you dont waste a day recovering. Paying bills with Credit Cards and accumulating Flyer miles has been a blessing for many years. The Lufthansa staff jumped thru hoops and got our seats back ... moved us upstairs ... the first time we've been upstairs on a 757.
Considering our recent luck with delayed flights, grounded planes and lost luggage, this flight rates a 10. Non of that … everything went well. So here we are in Prague. We just went out to eat dinner and found the famous square and had a nice dinner. It’s fun figuring out the value of the local currency.
Luelle with her iPad and favorite travel pillow. These things are more important on the longer trips. This will be her first time without bringing a lot of paperbacks to read. We'll let you know how the ipad does.
We're going REALLY fast!. The clouds are going by faster than usual. The ground speed indicator shows we are going almost 700 miles per hour. Without a tailwind, this aircraft goes only a little over 500. Yahoo for tailwinds, we'll get there a little sooner.
Tomorrow TravelBabe will go and get all of those details for you. I’m finishing up my Tuesday Webinar and we’ll see how well it will work broadcasting from the Czech Republic.

Landing in Prague ... Pretty sure this is Safflower. Maybe someone who knows could correct me?
