Feeling Like I Belong...
February 17, 2007
For many of you out there, the idea of flying to another continent for a long weekend might sound a little nuts. But when you're in the "business" (airline business) you get a lot of opportunities. My buddy Rey and I decided to take advantage of our perks and headed to Prague from Austin, Texas via Dallas and Frankfurt. We got there late due to bad weather in Germany, but made the most of it. Getting our apartments was a breeze and we settled in for a good nights rest after traveling all day. Being it was February, we got lucky for the most part with the local weather. The morning brought a gorgeous but crisp day and allowed for most of our photo opportunities. As you can see from the photos, the sky was amazingly blue! We played tourist most the day. Taking in the sites and even some music at the Church of St. Salvator (highly recommended!). This trip has just to relax, no agenda. We went to a couple clubs in the evening and found plenty of places to find a whiskey or two to keep us warm! The next couple days were overcast but we still got out and tried to see how the Czech half lived. All and all it was a great trip and finding our apartments to our liking was really something to come back for.

Easy Walk To Everything!
Before the last time I went to Prague, a buddy of mine suggested getting an apartment instead of a hotel room. He had heard about them through friends and supplied me with the link. Prague city apartments have everything from studios to three bedroom suites ranging from 62 Euros to 276 Euros. And they are located all over the tourist areas of Prague! The price for three nights was excellent. We received a huge discount for the third night! When I went, my buddy Rey and I chose the Residence Cerna, located in the Nove Mesto area. We paid a deposit ahead of time and the rest upon check in. Upon arriving we took a cab to the in-town office and received our keys and directions (we were only a couple blocks away and needed to stretch our legs!). So you know, they also have an office at the airport in Prague. We each got our seperate place and loved the feeling of it. It was like actually living there! Now, who wouldn't like that? My apartment had a kitchenette and a stack laundry in the bathroom. An elevator made things easier after a long day of walking about. We were steps from the New Town Hall and National Theatre. The rooms were clean and had modern looking furniture. The kitchenette had everything you needed: plates, glasses, utensels and a coffee pot. I didn't need the laundry, but it was nice knowing it was there. Overall it was quiet, comfortable, clean and most of all affordable in my mind. I'll use this service again next time I'm in Prague!
