More laptops stolen in US Airports than are sold in Romania

More flight options out of Romania

Tarom, the Romanian National Airline, has just joined the Sky Alliance; increasing flight options to 841 from 31.  As of this point I have not seen any details on where those flights will be landing, but one can only surmise that some will be going to the USA.  This would be great for us, since [...]

Tickets!!!

  Well, it is now official: we have purchased tickets for Romania.  We will be leaving on March 16′th, which is just around the corner.  I expect it may turn out to be abit of a rush to get everything done before then, (esp. with working fulltime) but we were able to save a large [...]
