Dallas Fort Worth, a massive airport, technically located in Fort Worth, Texas. I hear it is the size of Manhattan. Airline enthusiasts will love it here, but this 50 year old airport has its flaws...and fascinations. The parts of the airport outside security are cold, old, and sterile. No restaurants or nice decorations.
Above is a pic of sunset, looking west from my hotel room. From my room (located in the international terminal of the airport...Terminal D). Unlike my home airport (Richmond International Airport...which has no international flights), I've seen all sorts of foreign airlines. Emirates. Qantas. FinnAir. Qatar. Avianca. Singapore Airlines. Lufthansa. Air France. Etc.
This airport is where American Airlines is headquartered and American's Admirals Club lounges are located in each of the five terminals. When booking a room at the Grand Hyatt, specify a room that overlooks the runway. So why am I here. From Richmond International, this is the only destination that will serve a meal. One has to be in the air over two hours to get fed in First Class. I had Chicken Parmesan.
At the Grand Hyatt we have a really nice restaurant. They gave me a free dessert when they found out it was my birthday. The restaurant is called the Grand Met and this strawberry mousse type dessert was delicious.
I am trying to eat healthy, hence my vegetable stir fry with shrimp from last night. This place is a little more expensive than McDonald's but McDonald's is not the bargain it used to be.
Enough for now...stay tuned...may do another posting from here late tonight.
