How My First Time Met All of My Expectations (Flying Coach)

I had my first trans-Atlantic coach experience. There was infrequent service, cramped seats, and constant peripheral movement.
To prefect the experience, there was a baby crying, likely until a flight attendant gave the parent a complimentary half shot of whiskey, or so I assume. This is why the tickets up front are $7,000 more.
The complimentary boarding drink  (usually a memosa), the constant hot food, beverages, and whatever you want from or off the menu, combined with the room to stretch out. It’s definitely worth your miles or your business’s money (if they want you to work without much jet lag).
Although nowadays, for $15, one can buy wi-fi so one can keep up with social media…. or research your destination.
Being a lover of life, I want to experience all life has to offer.
This one I checked off the list. Done.

Smart Travel: Metro

Most city metro systems are pretty awesome. I even took the Blue Line to MSP. But the TC are nowhere near some cities (which is fine because it’s not nearly as big and doesn’t have awesome historic sites, Le Tour Eiffel).

However, there is one absolutely necessary thing needed when using and light rail.

Sanitizer

I use hand sanitizer whenever I’m leaving a rail station, once I’m done touching things.

Now I’m not the most germaphobic person, but think how gross that is:

Everybody holds that pole; not everybody washes their hands; and everybody isn’t prefect and rubs their eye, picks their teeth, or whatever.
