I know - whale meat is delicious - but I guess you would be crucified by some on this board - who is strictly against whaling in any form as it is...I learned that lesson a few years ago - that it is not vice to try explaining why some still hunt whales..... If you are not prepared to be castrated in some way.... A few of them even deleted me - so I can not answer them.... Oh well - I guess I will surive... Whale meat is rather expensive - and not easy to get your hands on - but if you do - and make it right - it is a meal fit for kings...


Never been to Newark Airport - or any of the other airports - other than in my Flight simulator that is - I'm not much of a traveler as it is - I usually got to cranky about the time difference - and to be honest - it is many other places who are on my mind other than the US....


Usually most of our airports is rather small, compared to many other places in the world - and possible also rather logical build - so it is les difficult to make a wrong turn when you are new in town - it help also that most of the airports have been renovated the last 10-15 years - and make rather comfortable... Even Oslo Airport Gardermoen - who was finished as it stand today - in 1998 - have been going true some rebuilding - to make room for more traffic - and it looks like it would be a rather nice airport when finished - almost double its pax numbers - and bee ready to grow for the next 10-15 years - as the terminal now in place did when it was new in 1998... (It repleased 2 smaller Aiport who had outgrown itself by the mid 1980s..
