Seems to be no recession on travel. Airports are full of people moving about.
Had the opportunity to ride a large plane very recently, 10 wide seating, very few vacant seats. Saw no empty first class pods.
We were last ones on, sat in the rumble seats. Found out there are crew rest bunks overhead in rear of that model of plane. Had never thought about how the crew handled some of those 12 plus hr international flights. Couple of our crew disappeared up there for awhile.
The windows didn't have pull down shades, you just turned a selector below the window to one of half dozen darkening shades which could go clear to black.
Rental car companies lots were pretty bare.
Food prices are somewhat noticeably higher here. Was in a Costco, Walmart, and Safeway looking for grub.
