WOW busy busy busy! Have fun I am mostly home for the Holidays, I will go to my side of the family at my sisters for the day before Christmas which is about 1/2 hour away and then my mother-in-laws for Christmas day which is about 2 1/2 hours away. I will stay overnight at the m-i-law's but that is it.

Greg you didn't caught up in the problems with the grenades did you?!

nope, that's quite some distance away from where I live.
It's not even close to anywhere I go with work as well.
It's in the French region of Belgium.
I am in the Flemish region closer to Antwerp than Ghent.
I live within 30 mins of one of the Netherlands borders.

Penguin must have a ton of frequent flyer miles and loads of money to go to all these exotic places.

Greetings from Palau!

3rd day here, but 1st doesn't really count, recover from 24 hours worth of jet-lag.

S/O was busy riding the zip cord, and walking through a waterfall.

Later today, she will try scuba in a dive pool. And Tuesday is "swim with the dolphins" day.

Nah, penguin does not have all that much krill. Just knows how to sniff out a 75% discount on the airfare, lol !

Glad all ok by you Greg.

Mikey, enjoy the holidays with family.

Waddle.

Well, apparently Korean Air has only 300 economy seats, unlike almost all other carriers that use the A380 and have about 400+ economy seats.

So, cattle class on the A380 isn't bad at all! Even better, we snagged bulkhead seats, which according to seatguru.com are the best you can do in economy.

From Seoul to Palau, it was a 737, and a much degraded flying experience.

Yes, think they can only handle about 3, maybe 4, planes max at the airport, lol!

No real newspapers / tv, limited internet.

Leaving Friday morning at oh-3-hundred for Korea.

There hasn't been anything in the news lately that would jeopardize my trip to the DMZ and N. Korea, has there ?!

I suppose giving them the flipper was not allowed?
They are probably digging up information on you to see if you a worthy candidate to recruit for their cause.
