bktheirregularHaven't posted in forever. Sorry.
As it turns out, tomorrow is a travel day for me - taking a trip back to New York for a week, to visit home while it's still there and all.
As it also turns out, it may be the last time I'll be able to fly nonstop from Athens to New York and back - the last airline to offer nonstop service, Delta, is suspending its nonstop flights beginning in October, so the only way to get between Athens and New York will be to change flights through some other city, presumably in western Europe. It's a pain in the neck, interrupts sleep (assuming one can sleep on the airplane), and there's always the risk that your luggage won't make the transfer.
But for now, eleven hours in a tin can and I'll be in New York, where hopefully I won't have to spend more than half a day passing through passport control.
Eight days this time - arrive Friday evening, leave Saturday afternoon. Full week in The City.
It'll be nice to see home again.
