We took the train to Potsdam, Germany, to see the Sanssouci Palace, home of Frederick the Great. He has an amazing personal story. I want to buy the rights. Loved every minute of it.

Climbing The Glass Tower
I almost chickened out, but I made it all the way up and down the dome and roof terrace of the Reichstag Building. We had spectacular views of the parliamentary and government district as well as all of the major Berlin sights.
The dome was designed by architect Norman Foster in 2004 and built to symbolize the reunification of Germany. Foster also updated the Hearst building in NYC in 2006.

Our First Time In The JFK Flagship Lounge—Private Dining Room
I’m sitting in the Flagship Lounge at American Airlines, JFK, thinking whether our flight to London, then onto Berlin, will have WiFi. I only had the privilege of having WiFi once when we crossed the ocean. It never happened again.
Coincidentally, I just read a story from the best known writer in the travel business, Peter Greenberg, (yes, we know each other, even though I haven’t seen him in years) that tells you which airlines offer free WiFi.
I thought you should have this information. Peter is known as the Travel Detective. If you travel often, you should follow him on all social media platforms.

Eliot bought us first class tickets to Berlin. Somehow, he skipped over business class. He claims he doesn’t know how it happened.
When we arrived at the lounge, they escorted us to a private dining room. We just followed instructions and didn’t offer up info that we would have been happy with a bag of peanuts and a coke.
We just completed a delicious dinner that was paired with the best wines. My nerves are calmed a bit, but I will still be questioning every bump once we take off.
Here is what we just ate. Keto perfect.
We are traveling super first class. We have an escort who is picking us up at the lounge and driving us to the gate. The flights cost more than our budget tour through Germany. I do have my priorities.
Smiley Face Pancakes
St. Louis resident Daniel Drake co-founded an art catering business called, Dancakes. Yes, pancakes with a D.
It was a natural name for the new company. Drake has the unbelievable talent of being able to draw any type of cartoon character just by squeezing a bottle filled with colorful batter.
It’s edible art.
This is a specialized griddle that heats uniformly— there are no “hot spots.”
It has a draw setting and another setting for cooking— so that the temperature is exactly correct for the draw process.
The cost is going to between $60 to $90 depending on which features you choose.
You use regular pancake batter— and they have a bunch of safe, natural food dyes (same as cake frosting) to “draw” your pancake.
Co-founder Hank Gustafson recorded Drake drawing 151 original Pokémon characters. The video went viral on YouTube.
The company demonstrated the process at CE Week.
Tell Me Who They Are
One of my favorite NYC signs. This hard working New Yorker knows a good thing when she sees it. #MyPhotoMyiPhone.

Keeping Up With The Seniors
Andi said she has been waiting her whole life to meet a man like Chuck. Perfect in every way.
I gained a new respect for seniors on Saturday. I witnessed the marriage of two people who are around my age (it was the first time for the bride) and the dancing skills of the guests who are definitely 70ish.
I was mesmerized from start to finish. Andi Trachtenberg created a wedding for herself that was young in tradition, yet so appropriate for people who have lived many decades. The ceremony and reception touched a certain grace that said there is no such thing as age when it comes to finding love.
To underscore this most amazing occasion were the senior guests who not only danced non-stop, but with current rhythm and steps that only the young usually show off.
I only captured a few scenes on video but I think you will get my point.
Age is only a number. Your attitude is everything.

I hope the link below works because you are going to be mesmerized by what you will see. If it doesn’t work, I will try again another time.
