Chalk This Up To Good Luck I Guess
Mar. 19th, 2009 12:33 amI am home!
And had what is for me a shockingly uneventful trip. I made all my train connections exactly when I wanted to and didn't miss a single one, and got to the airport with plenty of time to eat lunch and get to my gate. The flight to Denver was long (well, long compared to usual, since most of the time I go through Phoenix), but not too bad. I really like flying Frontier - they have seats that are a vague approximation of comfortable, and unlike some Airlines That Will Not Be Named, actually still give you free drinks, especially important as I couldn't find a water fountain to refill my bottle after I got through security. Also they had TV! Not a lame-ass in-flight movie, but, like, actual television. I watched Bones and something on Nick while flipping back to CNN a lot to flail over Obama. It was nice to have something to do on the flight that wasn't reading. Not that I don't love reading, but I love reading less than I love not being queasy and miserable.
I don't think I have ever been on a flight that landed early before. But I got into Denver about half an hour before we were supposed to land, which was pretty neat. I even had time to eat dinner, a true rarity! And then I had to sit on the floor for two and half hours, but hey, a long boring wait playing games on my computer is leagues better than a madcap dash through the airport trying not to miss my flight.
I was going to say something nasty about the bitch on the Denver flight who stole my seat, but she turned out to be really nice and it was not a big deal at all. Mostly the flight to Albuquerque was just really short - it felt like they barely turned off the fasten seatbelt sign before they were announcing our descent.
Once we got back to my dad's from the airport, there was beer batter shrimp and fresh sourdough bread and me babbling on about AIG and EFCA because flying simultaneously makes me really exhausted and incredibly wired and when I'm wired I cannot stop talking for the life of me. Which is why I am posting now!
But man, I am going to bed soon, and a pox on the person who tries to wake me up before 1 in the afternoon tomorrow. I intend on sleeping like the motherfucking dead.
