    Wie man einen Aufenthalt von mehreren Stunden in EWR nutzt

    Julia

    schreiben auf UA1005 von LIM nach EWR & UA864 von EWR nach HAM Auf dem Weg von Südamerika zurück nach Deutschland ist es unvermeidlich, dass man bei der Wahl der Fluggesellschaft United zweimal hintereinander auf einem Übernachtflug gebucht ist. Wie ihr euch denken könnt, ist der Aufenthalt dazwischen ziemlich lang und für uns ist er…

    Where to stay & how to get around in Washington, D.C.

    Julia

    Staying at the Courtyard Arlington Rosslyn was a good decision. The metro is in walking distance (they even have a shuttle that would take us anywhere within a mile in Arlington, but we didn’t bother. Except for heavy rain we wouldn’t have needed it, that’s nowhere near European traveling habits…). If it’s not included in…

    Business Meetings – Miami Beach EDITION

I love the work arrangement and the flexible hours. It’s great to escape the beginning winter weather in…

There’s live music every night from 9:00 pm and we got there just in time to listen to it. Although the band plays inside by the…
