On the Road Again!
I was cleaning out a memory card for my phone and found these little gems from my flight back from Nashville on 12/1 and they made me a little excited to be traveling tomorrow. These are my people. Row after row of middle aged white guys wearing dockers, casual button down shirts, reading the USA Today (although it's easy to imagine that the first picture is not of an airplane but some futuristic or alternate-universe public bathroom, located in a world where different conceptions of personal space was the catalyst for advanced ventilation technology). I love the smell of airplanes and asking for a whole can of ginger ale from the stewardess.
The flight tomorrow is not perfect - because I have to be at a meeting at 3pm Sunday my flight leaves at 7:55 am. It's nice that it is non-stop, but in order to fly back home from Austin rather than Dallas I am flying on American, not US Airways. American is a nicer airline but I only have the possibility of becoming a preferred traveler on US Airways (= free upgrade to 1st class) so this trip doesn't put me any closer to the preferred status I deserve. It's not a total loss because I'll rack up around 3,000 of the 5,000 freq flier miles I need on American for 2 r/t tickets to Europe.
