UK76’s TRAVELS: Almost back on the road
I’ve promised to be back, so here I am. It’s almost weekend and tomorrow morning (Saturday) I will be on my way to L.A. already! The final leg of my personal tour is about to begin. God, it all went so terribly fast. Can’t believe that it’s nearly 4 months since the tour kicked off in Helsinki. But I had the time of my life so far and enjoyed every minute of it!
So as I said, tomorrow I will get up very early to get to the airport. My flight to Paris (Charles de Gaulle) departs at 7.20am.
In Paris I will have about 3 hours for the transfer before I leave bound for Los Angeles on Air Tahiti Nui - a pretty exotic airline. They are said to have a pretty good in-flight service - without doubt they’re better than any american airline - and I hope they won’t disappoint me. The airline serves a route from Paris to Papeete, Tahiti with a stop in Los Angeles. As I’m very much into aviation, it was a nice opportunity for me to fly on that airline. The advantage of that flight is also that it arrives in L.A. in the early afternoon already.
So in L.A. I will just spend a night at an airport hotel before I head on to Salem, Oregon on Sunday morning where I will visit some friends who I haven’t seen in ages. On Tuesday afternoon I’ll fly back to California. My destination this time it will of course be San Jose for the first of my last four concerts. Then I’ll travel on to Sacramento and finally L.A. again for the last two shows.
The weather forecast looks pretty bright. So next time I post an update I will hopefully do it from sunny California.

Hi Ulli,
I hope you’ll have a good flight. Had to laugh when I read the bit about “sunny California”. I just watched the Tori Amos concert DVD titled “Welcome to sunny California”. The title caption appears before a backdrop of torrential downpour… So I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you to have some lovely dry weather.

martinus, the Tori Amos DVD is actually “Welcome To Sunny Florida”… (not California)
(It was recorded in West Palm Beach, FL…. I was there.)

You’re right, of course… Does a long workday count as an excuse?

Works for me!
