Flying solo...

So this was a first! I flew by myself and had to deal with a layover. Yes this travel is for work but a milestone is a milestone.

The first flight was pretty good -it was SDF to CLT and I sat next to a nice man and across the aisle from a woman with her 4 year old daughter and her 2 year old son. Amazingly both kids had only minor outbursts and the two year old slept most of the time. By the end of the flight the daughter felt the need to hug me. The crew was great on that flight too.

The second flight crew had more of an ... edge, I'll say. But all in all a good flight. The guys next to me were filmmakers from Cali and had worked on "werewolves" -that doesn't mean anything to me but I am sure it is significant.

Both flights had considerable turbulence ...more than I've had on any other flight but that was because its been raining everywhere all day.

The Baker Boy was flying too but his flight was through ATL. He got in about 3 minutes before me. Blondie flew in from ORD and had to deal with snow! She barely got out of there and her flight was an hour and change late. But we are all safe and sound in our rooms now after some dinner and a trip to Wal-Mart. What is travel without a Wally World run?
