Mosiac of Farmland - Landing in Frankfurt Germany

The mosaic of farmland you see as your landing in Frankfurt, Germany. Were not able to find free WiFi in Frankfurt airport. That's 2 stars less for them.

Darkness Eludes us...

So you leave Winnipeg at 11:45am Sunday, a few hours later your in Montreal, 3hrs after arriving in Montreal your on your way to Frankfurt where its now morning of Monday, a 2hrs later your in Ukraine and its early afternoon, by now your body and brain doesn't know if your coming or going, if it should eat or sleep, or weep or cry. Your now 1.5 days without sleep. Your standing in Kiev Airport and can't see the driver who was to be holding up a sign with your last name on it.

Boeing Genius - Changing Ambient Lighting

This Boeing 777-300ER plane from Montreal to Frankfurt featured the "new look" interior Boeing introduced a few years ago. The ambient lighting on ceiling  changes color every hour... Totally helps with breaking your mental monotony. The design makes yards of  headroom that goes along with the ambient lighting.... Reduce fatigue, make you less stressed out on long flights. The 8hr flight seemed more like 6hrs.

Air Canada - Attention to details as small as stir sticks

Cannot recall ever flying on Air Canada but after these two flights I've put them on my "preferred airline" list. Service has been outstanding, always on time, very nice airplanes, features not yet commonplace across the industry, even the stir sticks are patriotic 100% Canadian & Air Canada insignia-ated

Quick note: arrived safely in Kiev, Ukraine. Found our coordinator who is taking us to apartment. More blog later.... Important stuff first.
