I fly home today from Houston, ending a four-week travel frenzy that included Munich, Dusseldorf, Chicago and London. According to all news reports, as I fly east toward Philadelphia, I will be leaving the 80-plus degree weather far behind in Texas. After a great time in Munich, I boarded a Lufthansa flight to Dusseldorf. Upon landing I was lucky enough to experience the Dusseldorf Airport VIP experience. I was met at the gate and driven to a private lounge for relaxation and privacy. I also enjoyed a tour of the airport facilities, including a great observation deck. With limited time in Dusseldorf, I took advantage of an afternoon walking tour. Situated on the Rhine River, Dusseldorf seemed worlds different from Munich to me. Munich has a strong Bavarian feel, while Dusseldorf is a much more cosmopolitan metropolis. A wonderful meal was enjoyed overlooking the river. My limited taste of Dusseldorf left me hoping for more. I stayed at the Breidenbacher Hof. All I have to stay is oh-la-la! After a recent renovation the hotel reopened in all its glorious splendor. Highly recommended. — Kim Krol, eFlyer editor, circulation and public relations executive

Sep 17, 2026High-Spirited Hong Kong: The Dynamic Hub Embraces Its Maritime History and Culture
It was known as the “Kai Tak heart attack” — the thrilling, terrifying final approach into Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport. Airliners were required to bank sharply at the last moment, dodging hills and apartment blocks to line up with a runway jutting out into Kowloon Bay. The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately. Their cruise ships dock smoothly at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, a modern gateway designed by Sir Norman Foster.
