    Don't forget your American flag and MAGA hat. The Italians love a bit of patriotism

    I was only joking

          Joke's on him, he's actually getting on a plane to go to Tucson instead of Tuscan! Maybe in Arizona he'll even drive a Hyundai Tucson!

              Upgraded to business class on the way over. 80% off the price we saw when we booked economy in March.

              Education is extremely important.

                    Wow! You are off to the Tuscan countryside and I just had the Zuppa Tuscano at Olive Garden. Totally similar days!

                      Presuming @Horace didn't get on the wrong plane and flew to Italy... I saw this thread recently: https://www.reddit.com/r/howislivingthere/comments/1meskzv/how_is_living_in_tuscany_italy/

                        Nice flight in business class on Lufthansa to Frankfurt. But man Frankfurt. Spend 2 hours on the plane at the gate.

                            I sure am worried about Horace. He once said something critical of Trump, and I’ve seen a lot of stories about people critical of the President not being allowed back into the country.

                              I agree that it is an act of pure defiant courage to leave the country and hope to be allowed back in, after what I’ve said about the tariffs.

                                Yes I was in Portugal for liberation day and didn’t dare say anything until I got home. Not so brave am I.

                                    We were in economy in the second leg of the trip, as they reminded us when we tried to use the business class lounge in Frankfurt. I tried the magic words, ā€œbut I’m whiteā€, but they still wouldn’t let me in.

                                      Reminds me of the John Cleese joke: so John went to Auschwitz and arrived at the gate slightly after the last entry time and they wouldn't let him in. He said, "But I'm a Jew!" and they opened the gates and let him in.
