I little Condor luv : the big giveaway
We had a great trip on Condor over to Europe. Back in Alaska, I’m still wrestling with the time zones–which is why I’m up typing at 4am. HA.
Just in case you’re not up on Condor‘s service, they fly nonstop from Anchorage, Fairbanks and Whitehorse to Frankfurt. The prices are great. For example, fly from Fairbanks to Frankfurt 8/9-9/8/2011 for $846rt all in. From Anchorage to Frankfurt, fly 6/28-7/19/2011 for $728rt all in. From Whitehorse, fly 6/15-7/6/2011 for $779rt all in. Great prices for what is essentially last-minute, peak-season travel.
I’ve got a boatload of Condor schwag to give away, now. Check out the photo (top):
a. hats
b. Amenity kits
c. Little plastic pouches w/3 oz. bottles to appease the TSA demigods
d. Luggage handles for your bags
e. Pocket massagers (l-o-n-g flight, after all!)
f. Euro-change which I cannot return to Wells Fargo (I have about €20 worth!)
g. pens
h. shopping bags with Condor logo

I thought about grabbing the glasses and cutlery off of our return flight…it was pretty nice…but I didn’t do it.

Ooooo, the little 3 oz bottles! TSA gets me everytime I try to sneak my SPF 100 in my carry on! We pale Alaskans always need our SPF! immediately after landing!

Am headed on Condor myself and Steven told me, “No way!”
Final destination Corsica via Lufthansa to Nice and ferry to can remember the name of harbor but it is where I meet up with Research Vessel Heraclitus for a five-month long gig doing oral history interviews and other stuff as assigned. Could always use Euros… if you are really unloading…
Am hoping the ship will take me to North Africa, but…. will end up in Spain in fall, that is certain… is Condor continuing to fly into November, or is it just a summer thing?
Hey Johanna–Condor flies into early October. After that…it’s that long slog thru the Lower 48. Ick. I think Bonafacio is the big harbor in southern Corsica.
If you get to Barcelona, be sure and look up my friends Tracy and Charles at Spanish Trails (http://www.spanish-trails.com). She’s from Anchorage–and they run a great tour company. LOTSA FUN!! They are big Tour de France fans ’cause they live in Girona. All the cyclists train there. Steve could do some training rides. HAHA. Best, s
