Awkward

Helsinki - After checking into the hotel, I inserted the hotel key card into the room lock and pushed the door open. It opened about an inch before clanging against the inside security lever.  Someone was in my room!  I went back to the front desk and reported the problem.  "It is not possible," I was told.  "Uh, actually it is," I said.  After double checking, the manager confirmed the previous room occupant had not left.  Upgrade to the executive floor for me.  All's well that ends well.

Now that's a latte!

Beautiful vanilla latte, not from Starbucks!   This from a barista at the Manchester UK airport.

Ready for Christmas in U.K.

Obviously, the British don't celebrate the American version of Thanksgiving so their Christmas decorations come out even earlier than ours.

Christmas in England

Well, I guess the British don't know it isn't even Black Friday, yet.  Their Christmas decorations are already up!
