Mexico City International airport works well

I have to say that the airporrt works well and they have a nice American Admirals Club that frequent travelers like myself enjoy. The trip from the downtown area was not bad 04.30 AM but I would reserve lots of time during regular hours. The traffic in Mexico City is horrifying.

Mexico City is very interesting

I have to say that I very much enjoyed to see and feel the life of Mexico City. Very vibrant and lots of building and development going on which means that the local economy is growing. I also had the chance to sit in a car multiple times and saw tens of different neighbourhoods and many of them were very nice indeed. I am sure this place is going to be a place for me to visit lots of times

Beautiful Helsinki early morning - Texas here I come

It is time to go home again. My flight takes me today from Helsinki to Frankfurt, Germany and then to Dallas. Very nice to get home..... 2 weeks of travel has been productive but home is home, no matter what.

Prague -International airport - not bad experience

This is my first time on this airport. Pretty nice and large. It seems to be a major hub to other European and US destinations.

Little did I know about airport location

I had no idea that Slovakians use Vienna international airport as one of their exits to differnent parts of the world. It is only 45 kilometers from Bratislava. You live and learn....

Two days of rain in Slovakia

The fall is definetely here in Slovakia. It has now rained for straight two days and I am on my way back to Helsinki via Prague. Tomorrow I will be flying back to Dallas via Germany.

Bratislava old downtown is full of history

I had a chance to walk around the beautiful old downtown Bratislava during my arrival afternoon and it really is full of history and old buildings. I stayed in the Danube hotel which is very central to downtown area.... walking distance to everything.

Bratislava, Slovakia here I come

I am on my way to Slovakia from Helsinki to Prague with a change of plane that takes me to Bratislava. I am very excited to see the country specifically as I have never seen it before.

Back from Kotka via Porvoo

I used the bus to get back to Helsinki. However, this time I stayed in Porvoo for a day. Porvoo is a beautiful city 50 kilometers east of Helsinki. I warmly recommend if you have time to visit Porvoo. It is worth it.

Kotka Kuutsalo in my mind

I had a chance to visit a beautiful island outside Kotka on Saturday. I was interested in a very old cottage that has been built in 1918. The nature was very nice but the cottage was run down. I have to say that the Finnish nature is something that it is very hard to find anywhere else.

Bus from Helsinki to Kotka, Finland-when did I miss the price increase

The best way to move around in Finland is with public transportation. However, since when did it cost 240 old Finnish markka to take a bus to kotka and back. This is more than 40 Euros. The bus trip is convenient but I do not want to pay for the bus itself and its investments.

Helsinki last week of August - last week of summer

I was lucky. The last week here in Helsinki was very nice but 31st og August the typical Finnish fall weather was here again.
