Never stayed over in Warsaw...sorry took so long to respond.
Almaty is tricky, scenic, and very cool, but not for the light hearted.
Archie, speaking of Bataan Death Marches...the next day after a night out with me at Sticky fingers could be likened to that....I had a guy doing Kung Fu on the dance floor a couple weeks ago..funny, but very scary.

I'll take my chances at Sticky Fingers (kung fu dancing, and all) with you anytime over the Bataan Death March. At least you have an actual layover there.....The Vegas layover on the death march gives you exactly enough time to sleep, shower, eat, and change back into your uniform for the 3 legs you just flew, in the opposite direction. Not a real popular trip for the ONT guys.

Well, you missed the “no sidewalks, dodging Billy Bob in his pickup truck at night” part.
I live in Tennessee so I’m quite comfortable not having sidewalks. Heck, I can even walk out there with no shoes and the hot pavement won’t bother me at all.
The pilots from the “more developed” – a.k.a. over-taxed regions of our country though really struggle with the “finders keepers” or the “if you can kill it - you can drag it home” attitude of some of the Kentucky drivers.
UPS offers outstanding health insurance but I think it has a disclaimer regarding “hit by a native driver” – we’re on our own if that happens.

What can I say? Lazy and afraid have been major contributors to my successful aviation career, and have gotten me to where I am today....you've certainly got me pegged.
Really? Name one decent establishment.....and don't say that cajun place in the shopping mall, or I'll have to get my stomach pumped as a precautionary measure.
Maybe we can meet up on a SDF layover, and eat at my favorite restaurant....all the waffels, eggs, and hash browns served up with dirty silverware that you can eat....on me. Is it a date?
