1/29/08 IT'S GOOD TO BE HOME

I'm not sure why it takes so damn long to get from Maine to Idaho...but it does. You might think there'd be a potato express or something. There's not. Well, there isn't an affordable one.
So, follow the bouncing ball:

Manchester, NH to Cincinnati, OH to Salt Lake City, UT to Boise, ID. First flight at 10:10am get into Boise at 8pm. And you gain two hours too!

Now, let's go home:

Boise, ID to Salt Lake City, UT to Detroit, MI to Manchester, NH. First flight at 745am get into Manchester at 8pm. See? It takes friggin' all day long.

People travel differently. There are the happy talkers, the quiet ones, the leave me alones and the helpless. I tend to be a quiet traveler and do lots of work. It's a great way of using those 12 friggin hours. Now, I just need to get some things off my chest.

A) For God's sake, sneeze in your arm and cover your cough. If I don't get malaria, it will be a miracle.
B) When the flight crew says put away your phone, PUT AWAY YOUR PHONE!
C) When the flight crew says we can't take off until everyone is seated, SIT THE HELL DOWN!
D) When the flight crew comes by and hits every elbow on the way with the drink cart, don't say you didn't hear what was offered...please run down the list again for me.
E) Your huge bag will NOT fit in the overhead compartment, and now YOU are holding up the whole plane while you try to squeeze a marshmellow into a parking meter slot.
F) If I eat another tiny bag of cliche peanuts, I'll puke.

You know what? I feel much better!
