Back in the Sticks


Just returned home from another road trip. This time I went solo. Boo hoo!

Lowlights:
Missing my family something fierce. Luckily, my hubby sent some bitchin videos of the kids taking part in one of their fave activities, cafeteria tray sledding.
Highlights:
Miraculously, there was no lost baggage. No busses. No tug-of-war with my carry on and a flight attendant (a la Meet the Parents). No lost items. No barfing, no snot. Keep in mind this is unheard of odds since the venture included four flights and two different hotels in a “short” five days.

Lunch with a girlfriend. A two hour catch up session out in the beautiful sunshine goes a long way for old college roommates separated by ~800 miles for 99% of the time.

Dinner with my professional brethren at Bong Su in SF. About 33 of us comms freaks dined in the back room of the restaurant enjoying yummy food and cocktails. GREAT time with my colleagues. iChar was large and NOT in charge.

The featherbed topper at the Marriott Waterfront in Seattle. Mmmmm. Or should I say, zzzzzzzzzzzz?

You forgot to mention that you don't have an evil twin that's on the "No Fly" list...

Don't forget cocktails in real-glass glasses (not plastic tumblers so the kids don't break them). Always great to see you!

What, no invasive body searches on ANY of the flights? That's ridiculous!
Looks like your highlights FAR outweighed your lowlights, though. Good job RBM.
