Ok.. Time to do this.
The fun has started and time to start the long week and a half journey to Israel.
As I sit in the boring BA First Class Lounge in ORD I decided to talk some numbers about my costs so far vs. the cost of revenue for the
other folks on the flight.

All-in-all I think I got a hell of a deal and about to embark on a journey I WOULD NEVER be able to do if it wasn't for this game, this site, and people from this site. So I say to you, THANK YOU.
But for now, time to hop on a plane, put on some pajamas, and get a good night sleep. See you on the other side.
