And still goes...
I guess I should elaborate a little more on my trip out of Chicago on Tuesday morning. I knew the 7am to Boston from Chicago was canceled. So, I was aiming for the 8am flight. The aircraft was inbound from Laguardia. Not only was it on time, it was early...until... the agents made the shrieking announcement that due to the weather at O'Hare airport (Chicago) our aircraft had landed in Detroit. Long story short, our 8am flight to Boston finally left at noon and I arrived in Boston at 3:00. After starting out Monday morning at 11am, I didn't make it to Boston until 3pm on Tuesday. Like I said, what an adventure it was.
I thought I needed to milk more sympathy out of all this. I am here in Dallas now for 777 training. It is boring an monotnous as one might expect, but there are some cool things about the plane. For example, the entire thing is computerized, the cabin controls that is. The Purser (ME!) has a computer with touch screen at the jumpseat where all functions of the cabin are controlled. It's the coolest thing ever.
It was a long day; I started in Boston this monring at 8:00am, took a four hour flight to Dallas and then sat in class until 6:45pm. It was nearly a twelve hour day, not inlcuding the time from when my alarm went off (5:30) and the time it took me to commute to the airport. Needless to say I am tired! Tomorrow we should be out of class and on the bus to the airport by 2:30, alllowing me to catch the 4:00pm flight home. That'll get me to Vegas at 5pm.
This weekend, Beth and I have plans for a garage sale at her parent's house to finally get rid of the junk we attempted to get rid of at our community garage sale. Then, we hope to go the "Street of Dreams", a row of four homes with the latest and greatest techie gadgets and modern home conveniences. Each home costs in excess of a million dollars. I have never been, but I here they are quite amazing. Then, Saturday night, we are having dinner at Beth's parent's house. That should be nice.
I assume Brian and Rene are having a nice time in St. Lucia. I am not for sure though since I have not heard from them. After all, they just got there late Tuesday night.
