A new Belgian airline is flying, but you would almost think it is Armenian from the flights and flight schedule! The cities it services are NY, LA, Boston, Brussels and Yerevan... just the perfect cities to bring the diaspora in America to Armenia and no more! In fact, the flight from LA->Brussels->Yerevan is a direct flight with only one 45 minute stopover (you don't even get off the plane in Brussels). That means you get to Armenia in less than 15 hours which is amazing! Sorry I am so excited about all this but it really makes life easier for Angelinos. The airline is VG Air by the way and I met people who took the first direct flight and they really liked it. The ticket was $999 round trip for them, which I am not sure if it is an introductory rate or not, but it is worth looking into.

What else? Its 4th of July today, lets see what I end up doing. It is nice and cool thank goodness, that heat wave in June really whooped my butt. Maybe order some nice khorovadz and eat it on the balcony while staring at Mt. Ararat??
