Flying 100,000 Miles,Surviving Airplane Food and the Pez Museum

• Never rent an American car. Japanese or Korean is the way to go.

Rental Car

• Never “Upgrade” to an SUV, there is no way to park it in San Francisco and there is no need for nine passengers on a business trip.
• On the way to California never check in any luggage. A TravelPro trolley is an investment for life.
• Take enough cloths for one week+.
• Laundry bags are really useful. Not the ones that say “IDF Basic training 1991”.
• No need to wear  smelly clothes. Laundry is cheap and sponsored by your employer.
• The dry clean guy would always ask for three+ days and can always do it in one day, unless it is Saturday.
• It is OK to check luggage on the way back from San Francisco to Tel Aviv, but the gifts to the spouse with you.
• If the trolley does not fit in the overhead compartment,on the way back , take our the laundry bag and put it under the seat. I said it would be useful.
• Sleeping pills are a great invention.
• Never eat on US Airways. Never eat on Continental. Never eat on Delta.
• Unless you fly business (I’m not…). If so, take the filet minion and shrimps. It is pay back for all the “pasta” or “chicken”.
• Egg white omelet is not horrible. American omelets are made out of three eggs, by default. that’s 30 eggs for a ten days trip. Bacon not included.
• Continental Presidents’ club in Newark has no food (cheese and crackers does not count). But it has a shower !
• There are nice wine bars in both Newark and Philadelphia. Airports are expensive anyway, at least this is fun  and the service is good.

• 

  Wine and Oysters

• Walgreen sells five t-Shirts for $10. No need to carry gym shirts with you. Leave them as charity (after laundry) on the way back.
• You don’t have to visit Burlingame museum of Pez Memorabilia. But maybe.
