long trip home

it was a looooooong trip home. my "window" seat was windowless and after 11 hrs I began to feel a little like a coffin-dweller. particularly since a large chinese man was blocking my view of the onflight movie.

a presidential visit and weather delayed pretty much every airport we tried to leave from. because my flight(s) from philly kept getting delayed, i would go get a new boarding pass for a different itinery because i was going to miss my connection to MSP. after the 3rd itinerary change, security pulled me aside, questioned me about all the changes, bomb checked my shoes/jacket and patted me for weapons.

finally got transfered to midwest airlines, a company i now love. their coach section is like first class with extra wide leather seats + ample legroom. the prices were close to normal coach prices.... best of all they fresh-bake choc chip cookies on every flight. now that's my kind of airline!
