Pleasant stay in Paris in route to Dallas

I flew yesterday from Helsinki to Charles de Gaulle, Paris. I had booked Holiday Inn at Charles de Gaulle airport that was a good choice and I realized of having been there before. Why is this hotel nice... It has a nice restaurant and bar for a meeting, the rooms are clean and it is close to the airport.

This morning I had to get to the airport, the shuttle takes one to the airport train, smooth, very smooth. The security was easy today,not too much people but it could be that my priority status helped a bit. I am now sitting in Admirals Club waiting on my flight to Dallas... It has been very smooth sailing today at CDG.

Finland and a week of snow and cold

The week is over. Helsinki has not had this much snow in 40 years and it was very evident by measuring the hassle in the traffic. It was cold, it snowed a lot and now I am on my way to Paris for one night with a meeting. The hassle with luggage in Helsinki airport is laughable... Labor unions.... I hope they can fix the issues so the travel can continue as normal.

Time to travel

I can't believe it, I was not travelling at all during December 2009 which felt good, very good. I am now on my way to Helsinki, Finland and then to Paris, France and back to Dallas. I heard that there is huge amount of snow in Helsinki... and cold... so that is going to be interesting to see. The weather in Dallas has been very cold as well and based on local newspapers, the snow on the 24th of December was only the 7th time during the last 111 years. How about that.... I am flying via New York with American Airlines and switching to Finnair to get to Helsinki$
