Notes of our travels to Praha.
We can't believe how fast we got here. This time yesterday we were on the Jersey Turnpike breezing past sewage trucks and girls texting while driving. Today we have awoken in the heart of Prague. Minutes away from the best view of The Castle and The Charles Bridge.
The highlights of our journey here began moments after Heather predicted I'd get flagged going through security because of all my camera gear which of course means Heather gets flagged for no reason and is busted bring on a half-full bottle of water into the airport! Oh the shame of it all! :) Anyway, our flight went by super fast. When we were boarding two of the flight crew were popping champagne for 1st class and I asked if it was for us, we are on our honeymoon? They got all excited and asked our names and seat numbers. I thought for sure we were going to get upgraded, but instead we got a nice bottle of champagne and a cabin announcement that was followed by a round of applause from our fellow passengers. We were next to the loudest child on the plain who seemed to scream for an hour, but thanks to the generous loan of two sets of noise canceling headphones we could only tell how annoying he was By the looks the passengers around us were giving in the noisemakers direction. I don't know what those things cost but they are worth every penny!
Showing our passport to a disinterested security woman with giant fake nails was our stop at customs and in less than an hour we were checking in early (thank god) to our hotel. We had informed them of our honeymoon and were upgraded to a non-smoking suite and 20 minutes after settling in a bucket of champagne was delivered to our door! I told Heather that from now on we are always on our honeymoon!
At this point we are freshly rested and ready to explore. I'm anxious to start taking pictures and taste some local cuisine.
