Smells like BACON!
About an hour after I redpointed this route, Eddie was finally ready for his flash attempt. He like a stealth bomber, waited patiently for me to work out all the intricate beta (all of which was hijacked from Misty who is ridiculously close to sending this thing) so that he could AGAIN flash my project…

So, back in May when Eddie was making the plane tickets he insisted that we were going to fly Luftansa and not Delta… the slightly cheaper ticket. At the time, i didn’t understand what the big deal was… Here is just a few reasons why Luftansa pretty much rocked our monkey faces off. Numero…
