I'm going to France!
I finally got around to buying my ticket (still haven't finished the visa application - so much to do, so much TV being watched). I'm flying Lufthansa (which has the stupidest online flight tracker in the world) on the 18th of September, arriving on the 19th. I've never flown Lufthansa before, but American, which was slightly cheaper, doesn't share mileage-plans with Northwest or United, so I would have had to apply for yet another frequent flyer plan. Now I can add my France-miles to my Chile-miles and get... I don't know what I can get, but I will have something like 9,000 miles on my little card and that will make me happy.
Sophie also flew Lufthansa when she came to visit, but she flew out of Lyon. Flying Lufthansa means I get to stop in Franquefort (I like the French spelling better than Frankfurt) and be in Germany (sort of) for the first time in my life. And an advantage over my Detroit-Amsterdam-Lyon flight of two years ago is that when I did that, I didn't have any Dutch money (what is that called?), so I sat in the airport, bored and hungry. Now there's the Euro (however shall I adjust?), so I can find some crisp apple struedel or schnitzel with noodles to nibble on (preferably no doorbells or sleighbells, though).
Flying is so expensive. What am I going to do when I'm no longer eligible for student discounts? I will have to stagnate here, I guess.
