Craft beer, a kids play area, and the city light rail goes directly to the airport. There is a full mall there, and the stores are required to charge the same prices as they would outside of the airport. There's no sales tax, either!Jinjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350375836177626924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024693222317339152.post-40926095439207409902012-10-26T10:39:16.197-07:002012-10-26T10:39:16.197-07:00You have a good point about weather.

Leave extra time for security in Vegas. If you fly in/out of the front range, such as here in Denver or Colorado Springs, expect some turbulence, but we do have the greatest pilots in the world because many are former Air Force pilots!<br /><br />Oh. Midway is almost downtown Chicago, and you fly in close to the tops of the buildings; I prefer ORD because it's farther from the congestion. (Chicago traffic is the worst!)<br /><br />Take a good map or GPS to the Miami airport. The crime is bad. <br /><br />Bring your French dictionary to the DeGaulle airport. They want you to try to speak French, even the shop owners do.<br />Samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024693222317339152.post-14113040375248128232012-10-23T13:57:22.619-07:002012-10-23T13:57:22.619-07:00Thanks, Paul.
