On my way

Hi Everyone!

I am going to write little excerpts of the day and then publish it all at once tonight or tomorow.

Got up at 2am this morning to leave for the Omaha airport at 2.30.

So far everything went smooth. The shuttle-bus must have seen me turn into the long-term parking lot, because it was waiting for me as i got out of the car. A great blessing as it is still really cold at this time. I was surprised that the "arrive 2 hours before bording" does not apply here in the early morning. The counter was not even open until 1.5 hours before take-off. They worked really efficient though and i was checked in within 5 minutes. Online pre-flight check-in does make a difference!

Now i am sitting here at Eppley Airfield and am using the internet they provide. Way to go Omaha Airport, 21st century right here! Next stop is Chicago O'Hare. I hope they have Internet too! Looks like it's time to board!

And here an image of the inside of the plane.

Arrived in Chicago O'hare without any problems

and was really surprised that it was snowing here! I am including a picture of the terminal connection tunnel, which i have always liked. I think light-sound installations are great.

Next stop Miami. Did i mention that i am a sucker for Airport architecture?

Wow! I arrived and Guatemala is really nice! 80 degree temperature (around 30 c) I was picked up by a driver who held up my name.

That was a first, and it had to be documented.

Since the airport is in Guatemala City, we had a 1 hour drive to Antigua, which i really enjoyed.

I love hills and mountains, they remind me of home and it makes me feel quite content to see a lot of mountainous landscape while i am here.

Here is an image righ outside Jim's entry looking at Montana Fuego.

I'll post some pictures of Antigua later on.

So long for now!
