Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond (9th December)

09/12/2023 by Kevincm

Hallo und Grüezi im Zuirch. Or rather, where I was today. I suspect when I hit publish, I’ll be somewhere at Heathrow waiting for a coach.

Nonetheless, it is Saturday, so it must be time for Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond, as I celebrate the last hours of my birthday.

Taken a little earlier today. 

I haven’t integrated my latest post into the list – it’s a little hard to do on the road with a phone.

More a lot later. Including video footage.

Next Week

 There is a HELL of a lot to unpack in the snapshots and trip report upcoming. This one is going to be many nights in the coffee shop editing.

On top of that, I’ll have some headlines that amuse me.

Until then, have happier landings than I’ve had today.
