After landing in London from our journey on Virgin Altantic Upper Class, we decided to check out the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse, as it is apparently one of the nicest lounges in the world. Unfortunately, we were REJECTED by the lounge! Apparently, in order to enter the lounge, you must have a departing flight on Virgin Atlantic. Bummer.

Lemon Two: The US Embassy in Egypt was attacked. Protestors tore down the American flag, burned it, and there were protests all around the Muslim ...
Let me repeat that. The United Club at Sao Paulo (GRU) is a disaster. It officially earns the title of "Worst United Club I Have Visited." There are a few that I haven't seen, but this is by far the worst of the ones I have. Instead of escaping to a "Club Away from the Hubbub" as United once put it, you're really stepping into a pit of disorder and chaos. This report is based on multiple separate experiences at the club.

We're off on our trip around the world! There will certainly be many blog posts and reviews to write when I return, but until then, follow me on twitter! I'll post some pics and thoughts of all sorts of things from our trip!
