Two plane changes too much

Finally in Chicago, after having changed plane in London (not my favorite I am afraid). If one has the change, the best thing is to land in the final destination....

Time to get back to Dallas, Texas

I am on my way to Dallas Texas from Prague, Czech Republic. It has been a very nice trip with lots of new contacts and new understanding of the Czech Republic marketplace as well as the surrounding countries. I am impressed with the city and will definetely visit again. My flight back to Dallas is via Heathrow, London and Chicago, Illinois.

To get to know Prague, take a grand tour.

I had a chance to take a 3 hour grand tour while in Prague. This tour is a combination of bus tour as well as walking in the largest working castle in the world. The weather was beautiful and this gave me the opportunity to get to know the geography in the downtown area so next time when I visit the place, I know how to get around.

Hotel Ibis Mala Strana, I can recommend it

I stayed in the pretty nicely located hotel Ibis Praha Mala Strana that is 2 metro stops from old town and even in a walkable distance (20 minutes) from the major places in Prague. What impressed me in the hotel was not so much the rooms (they are very nice but nothing special), but the nice service that you get in the nice restaurant and lobby bar. They really make you feel that you are welcome. There is also a large mall just beside the hotel, so if you are in a shopping spree, no need to travel anywhere. I will definetely use this hotel in the future as well.

Trip via Chicago, Bryssels to Prague went well

The service was good and Bryssels, Belgium airport worked very well and they have a nice lounge for travelers that either fly business or have a launch card of some sort. This was my secomnd time in the Prague airport in less than 2 months so I was able to get around easily. Nice experience overall.

Czech Republic in my mind

I am sitting on the plane again, this time headed to Prague, Czech Republic to do a speech. I am flying via Chicago and Brussels, Belgium. I am very excited to see Prague as I have not been there before (other than the airport).

Final day - from Marathon, Texas to Dallas, Texas

Our finaly day was awesome. We got up early in the morning (5.15 AM) while it was still dark and drove along highway 67 (more to follow later). I was home around 3.00 PM and more than 500 miles behind. Overall we drove more than 1600 miles.

Third night in Terlingua Ranch

We drove around 200 miles during our second day, from Ft Davies down 67 to Marfa, then to Presidio that is by the Mexican border. From Presidio we drove along the beautiful Rio Grande along highway 170 to Lajitas, Terlingua and then finally to our overnight place Terlingua Ranch....

Second day with lunch in Pecos, Texas

We drove from Abilene to Pecos and had lunch in Pecos in a traditional Mexican take-away place and it was very authentic indeed. From Pecos our journey continued on highway 17 to Fort Wayne where we had reserved rooms in the beautiful hotel....(Will descibe later). We drove also an additional loop of 70 miles to see the observatories of McDonalds that is managed by the University of Texas at Austin. Today's trip was around 450 miles.

Big Bend motorcycle trip finally here

Five good friends and 1600 miles ahead of us. We left Dallas around 06.00 PM and the first leg took us to Abilene, Texas. We drove mostly in the dark, but the weather was good and our ride was smooth. We are staying by interstate 20 by Abilene in a local Best Western Inn and Suites. Tomorrow we will drive to Fort Davies, Texas. The drive today was around 200 miles.
