Thanx! I've been looking for just that info. My buddy is long legged and doesn't like airplanes. Especially on an 11 hour flight.

About me
Been travelling around the world for years. My know it all attitude only comes from experience. We all learn from each other. I’d put one of those maps on here, but an overnighter is not seeing the country. Australian proverb"We’re all in this together, mahyte. One hand washes the other." Don’t compare the other places to home. Its apples and oranges. If ya gotta have things like your home/stay home. 2 yrs working on Swedish cargo ships. Then 2.4 yrs in oz. (40 years ago) And 6+ yrs. of learning like crazy from TT. ;o) If ya think they prob’ly don’t speak English…ask. You’d be surprised how many “foreigners” have lived stateside. Stereotypes are bogus! I began wanting to learn after I ignored several warnings. Oops. ;o)Recent activity
