Aagl conf

 Attended 2 days conf. Was coughing too  much on 3rd day, so didnt attend sat afternoon and sunday. Met Anna Limchenco.

Watched circus whixhbwas nice did not do any ice or snow activitybas I was sick.

Went to stanley marketplace. Nothing spectacular.

Back to LA.

Philippine airlines business class itself was very good. Good food but too much food.Pumpkin ginger soup and philippino conjee especially good.

Manila airport was the worst. We had to go identify checked baggage, open and show them. Then 3 security checks, can you imagine? For transit passengers??? Slept comfortably in flight, thank God for business class. I was with blocked nose and cough, still.,

Anyway now finally at Melbourne.will go back to Adelaide and check for covid.

So nice first half but not so nice second half of US trip.

Nov 20, Melb to LA

 Nov 20th, Sunday morning to Melb airport, stayed in Marhaba lounge then business class philippine airlines. That was good, nice cubicles, flat bed, cocktail,  screwdriver. Transit in Manila, the lounge was very busy, crowded airport, but good food. Tasted pandan pudding, fruits and tea. Already too full from airport food. Last minute thwy asked us to go identify our baggage, open it then obly sent it. Flight was not as good as the other one, more open, not contained cuvicles, still ok. Nice crew. Slept almost three quarter of 13 hr journey. LA airport immigration not as croweded as I thought wpuld be. Then walkwd to terminal 1. No coffee shops, no eateries open. Checked into MSP milwaukee, st paul flight, tgen in that terminal before getting onto sunrise flight, got coke and croissant from a nice lady who was already closing shop. Not very clean, no open shops, disappounting LA airport.

In chicago

It was nice, but cold and windy. Seems Chicago is one of the windiest cities in world. Night we walked and had dinner at Aba mediterranean restaurant, as we could not get reservation in any place that we wanted. Food there was actually quite good. Walked back to hotel. Next day we went on a walking tour of buildings and food, 5 hr walking tour of Chicago. Tour was nice, but guide not good. Doesnt know much about any questions that we asked. Like the different architectural history. Food was ok, popcorn, sausage, beef finally (in) famous deep pan pizza. Was ok, not too bad.There was a girl from India, Ruchi who came for MRI machine adv for a conf., a mexican origin nurse who showed us all his before and after photos after gastric sleeve surgery. Then we went to London house, roof top, very nice night view, ...
