leaving Nigeria.....with 2 special treats!

I'm posting this blog from inside a relaxing, air-conditioned Executive Lounge for Lufthansa airlines at the Lagos International Airport - and I didn't purchase a Business Class or First Class ticket. In fact, I don't even know why I was invited in - the check-in agent simply gave me a yellow card along with my boarding pass, and after I passed thru security, I decided to take a closer look to see what it was - and I happened to be standing in front of the lounge at the time!

If you've not traveled internationally, you have no idea what a treat this is - instead of trying to kill a few hours before boarding in a congested waiting area with no air conditioning or comfortable chairs, I'm one of only 2 people in this entire lounge, surrounded by lots of soft chairs, internet access (obviously, since you're reading this), free snacks, and (are you ready for this) - diet Coke! Life doesn't get much better than this!

I'll save the second 'treat' for another post, because I don't want to be too long with this...
