Turkish Airlines Business on TK1957 IST-AMS, Seat 2K, then United Polaris on UA907 AMS-SFO, Seat 1L
Tuesday, July 9, 2024.
That is it, my vacation has ended. I had an amazing time in Europe as well as Türkiye. I’m by no means an archaeologist, but Türkiye is a great place to budding archaeologists to start learning.
There is much history in that country. I am now at the Polaris Lounge at San Francisco Airport.
I am on the way home right now. Of course, there was a lot of planning for this vacation. In the morning, I flew from Istanbul to Amsterdam, and then to San Francisco, California.
While flying, I was able to visit three airport lounges.
Turkish Airlines Lounge in Istanbul.
Polaris Lounge in San Francisco.
I flew in First Class or Polaris Class all the way. It was very comfortable.

    Brussels looks like a really neat place! But I was surprised that the signs at Mini Europe are in English - as it's in Brussels, they should be in French, Dutch, and German. I then thought that the majority of the park visitors are most likely from the UK. Aww....you felt like you broke up with the Waldorf Hotel Amsterdam?

      Unlike the rest of Europe, English is widely spoken in both Belgium and the Netherlands, more so in Belgium. I think it is because there are three official languages and nobody could agree on which one would be the lingua franca of the country. One would resent the other so they picked a language that is not one of the three. Same thing with France and UK disagreeing on English as the official language of the E.U. The butt-hurt French said, "Okay, fine then, American English, not British English."

    Awesome! At the Louwman Museum, I noticed that there are two cars on display that once belonged to German royalty - Prinz Fredrik (?) and Kaiser Wilhelm II. If I recall correctly, Wilhelm II exiled himself and his family to the Netherlands after WWI when Germany did away with the monarchy. They still have monarchy in Germany today, but not in positions of leadership. Remember that German prince who made headlines last year for conspiring with the far-right factions to overthrow the German government and establish himself as the head of the government? He's in prison now. I LOVE pinball machines!! But it drove me nuts if I cannot win a game. As for American arcades, yeah, the noise and the fact that people are essentially living with their phones 24/7 will do that to the disappearance of arcades and socialization in America.

      @@SoloGlobetrotter De nada! I meant to mention this in my earlier response, so on your domestic flight with Lufthansa, I think you were actually seated in a former economy cabin that has been converted into a first class cabin. The blocked off middle seat is a dead giveaway. But I'm certain that you have noticed it as well. That house you visited at the end looked....unremarkable until you explained the significance of that place. It's amazing to think the East German authorities were cool with the guy living in the wrong section. I recall that you mentioned in a previous video highlighting your visit to Brandenburg Gate that one side of the gate was reserved for the German royalty and their transportation and the other side was allocated for the pedestrians. Would I be correct in thinking that the two wider passageways on the left side was reserved for German royalty and royalty/dignitaries from other nations? That yogurt you ordered looks terrific. How was the meal you ordered at that East German Commie nostalgia restaurant? Schnitzel over rotelle pasta....a rather unusual combination. Unless the meat is chicken, so in that case, make that the German idea of chicken parmaigiana. Looking forward to watching your Day Two vlog tomorrow! Enjoy your Saturday!

      European first class seats are vastly inferior compared to American first class. I had the same experience on other European airlines and even Turkish airlines. Makes me so glad to be American, ha ha! Regarding Brandenburg, the middle of the gate was reserved for royalty. All five seem to be equal in width to me. Pasta is what the East Germans used due to the chronic shortages. West Germans used real food instead. In fact, the schnitzel was the processed kind, a lot like the chicken burger patties you see in the frozen food selection, chicken McNuggets come to mind. For the record, it was pork. Admittedly, it was pretty good, just like the McNuggets, ha.

    Such an enjoyable vlog! I appreciate you showing the other side of Tijuana, and now that I know what it's really like, I'd say Tijuana is an interesting city, full of contradictions. I'm really glad the owner of the Hotel Dicienuvere (spelling?) bought Caesar's Restaurant and restored it to its 1920s facade. It's such a shame that the original owner had accumulated so much debt post-9/11 that he was forced to close it down. But the gas prices at the end? Insane! Or is that Mexican prices? The Venus chocolate candies looks absolutely delicious - I would have loved to try that strawberry cream.

      I got the lemon mint because I had a mild sore throat at that time and I figured this would be the best.

    Great video! Thanks for showing the La Brea Tar Pits, the Petersen Automobile Museum, and the LACMA. It's really neat to see what they have in there. One piece of advice: at the beginning of your vlog, you were sitting in the dark. Please make sure next time you're sitting in a well-lit spot for your openers. I can see you fine, but some people might have a hard time seeing your signs if you're sitting in a dark spot. Thank goodness for captions! 😊 By the way, I like your new handle! Solo Globetrotter fits you to a T!
