Mu thoughts, exactly, when I read it in the news. The day after I left Milan, a mentally ill man at fire to a dustbin in Milan’s airport. Good timing!

Our haul from September last year. No wonder we were overweight, but I was happy (sort of) to pay the excess because of the savings we made on tech stuff. This doesn't include our backpacks with loads of tech stuff.

Andreani delivered 6 litres of Yancanelo EV olive oil to us this morning. The missus buys it direct from Mendoza.

In the US they are adding an option to be able to fly even if you forgot your identification. Just pay extra $45 each trip.
TSA to Charge Travelers Without REAL ID an Extra Fee to FlyStill don't have a REAL ID? You'll soon have to pay an extra charge to get through airport security.www.frommers.com -
I’m pretty sure you still have to have your identification in order to get on a plane. You just have to pay the fee if you haven’t upgraded to a “Real ID,”
Oh right. So their old state drivers licence is sufficient plus this per trip fee.

My wife's son has been planning a six month Asia trip, ending in Australia for the last year or so and was due to fly Emirates via Dubai to Tokyo next Tuesday.
Clearly that's no longer possible, so he's now flying Mexico/Tokyo, we think.

Did he get his cash back from Emirates?

No refund but he can use the ticket for the same or similar flight until October - the 12 months since he bought it. Better than nothing.

What a trip! Is this for work, or all vacation?
He works remotely on his laptop, so it doesn't matter where he is. Also he decided to do this Japan, S. Korea and Australia six month trip before the burdens of getting hitched catch up with him. He has our full support!

Way to go!! Japan has been on my bucket list for a few years now. An unenthusiastic husband and two fighting cats make it stay on the bucket list for even longer.
I spent a month in Abu Dhabi right after the pandemic, and I have family living in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai. So far, so good. But the first days of supporting messages and texts are easier to manage. I'd like to see their posts a few months from now, when they can't take a plane to flight back to Italy for they summer holidays.

Japan is one of the very few countries left I would like to visit.
