Yay! The long-discussed elimination of some of the funky trans-Atlantic airline regulations is finally going to kick in. More airport and route options for European carriers (who, in my experience, have always offered a more pleasant flight experiences than their U.S. "partners").
Perhaps this will mean less station-to-station flying when heading over to see soccer, or crazy Czech relatives, or Killing Joke.
With the falling dollar and cost of fuel, it will still be a hefty hit to the wallet. But hopefully the dollar:Euro rate means there will be more demand (by Euro travelers) for routes from Europe to here (and back).
And some day the missus and I will be hopping back on one of them. Home equity loans meant for Euro-travel, right?
As you may have noticed, the site has changed. Sampa, the free-site host, did a version 2 of some sort.
Despite an FAQ that made it sound like allowing one's site to go through v.2 surgery would be okay, there were several flexibilities that surprisingly disappeared with the click of a button. (e.g. I cannot believe sidebars like this one are even narrower than before.)
And I'm told -- miraculously! -- that the conversion cannot be undone. Truth be told, I'm actually quite pissed. But free is free. Sampa has otherwise been good to me.
So I need to sort through site "features" to see how I can make do. Except that I don't have the time at the moment, in the middle of graduate classes and Lighthousehockey.com. (btw, I've removed that Lighthouse RSS feed so that you're not clogged with random Islanders hockey gibberish).
But I promise to touch up the accessories when I get a chance, and return to irregularly scheduled blogging.
