Hello from Tashkent, where I am spending several days checking out Uzbekistan. The country has defied expectations…in good way. I don’t recommend the national airline, though.

On Monday I will finish my current trip report with a review of JetBlue Mint class from New York to LA. Before I transition into the current -stans trip report, I may squeeze in a trip report that will include Singapore Airlines Suites Class and three Park Hyatt properties in Australia.

I’ll also soon share details of how I’ll get home from Uzbekistan. It will not be how I expected…
