Sorry, Lee. I left out a few "minor details!" Actually, I thought you had read my posts when I sent seamail from our Baltics cruise.
We've been flying United forever. With a few exceptions, we've had no major complaints and remain loyal Mileage Plus members.
We've been to Santorini. We opted to not take those stinky donkeys.
If you think the drivers in NYC are hair-raising, you should see how they drive in Moscow! Kicked-up many, many notices with their road rage, cutting people off with hair-pin maneuvers, stopping in the midst of traffic and getting out of their cars to curse, yell and flip people off, and parking wherever they choose, including sidewalks! You have to experience it to see just how nuts they are!
