The Rhetorist

Partial view out the window of the Tiffany Cafe in Milano.

Rather than spend the last 10 days trapped in Poland, which was great for the prior 10 days, I am now working my way back to London for the flight home. First stop, too late for my conference unfortunately, but nonetheless a requirement, is Italy. So another 10 days left, the impossibility of making it to my final conference in Helsinki a major disappointment, but making the best of it while in Italy en route to London. Working my way toward London is the most practical $$$ solution.

The flight from Krakow to Milan was the most comfortable, most spectacular, and most enjoyable flight I have ever taken, even if it was delayed 30 minutes. And the ticket from Volareweb.com was somewhat cheap, affordable I should say when the chips are down, just over $150 US, so I am on the clouds again, though sitting for the last few hours in the Tiffany Cafe where I have Internet access once more and am planning the rest of what is turning out to be a once-in-a-lifetime European journey.
