We departed ATL a little over an hour behind schedule due to an oil issue with the aircraft; however, once that was checked out and resolved we were on our way. I do enjoy the perks that come with flying business class across the pond - the continuous offerings of food and wine, good selection of music and movies, and the new duvet like blankets.
I enjoyed meeting and chatting with my seatmate, Diana from NC, who is giving a presentation in Prague today. I also had the pleasure of striking up a conversation (some might call it flirting) with Stephan from Vienna and his friends/business partners Peter and Martin. Hope to hear from/meet up with Stephan in Vienna next week, if not before.
Due to the delay out of ATL, we arrived in PRG this morning about an hour behind schedule. Adrian, my driver, was waiting for me as promised in the arrivals hall. I felt a bit car sick (okay, it was actually a bit more than car sick...) while riding in the backseat of the Peugeot mini-van; however, I arrived safely at the Lida about 40 minutes later. I'm grateful to Peter, Jan's (the owner) son for taking the time to provide information about Praha, public transport, neighborhoods, must see sites, and dining options. All this while I enjoyed a pot of green tea and some delicious bread. Going to head upstairs to unpack.
It's a beautiful Spring day today... planning to walk to Vysehrad to the park and go to Josefina for dinner. Cheers!
