Departing Aberdeen

Sunday, February 08, 2009
Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom
I'm leaving at 4 am and I run into one of my neighbors just making it in for the night. Now that is just wrong.

We did have even more snow over night, so I was glad that the taxi was able to navigate the icy hill into the complex . At the airport, the lounge never opened. I assume due to the people not making it in with the snow. Luckily I saw that the plane made it in last night on schedule, so I knew I would be able to make it out this morning.

Did get some photos of them sweeping the snow off of the wings. Of course, the also de-iced them. But it was the first time I've been on a plane that rode down the entire runway and then turned around to take off. Not sure why they did that. Maybe because we were the first plane to leave they wanted to check for ice or something.

Anyway, sitting in the KLM lounge in Amsterdam waiting for the next flight. Last free internet of the trip (outside of the office of course).
