I had another flight lesson cancelled today due to weather...

And people think it's always nice in Vegas. Huh! It's the damn wind, as usual. Today we had sustained winds of over 30 miles per hour, and gusts that topped 50. Not a nice day to be flying in a small airplane. Hopefully we'll have better luck tomorrow.

I am home through Friday! Then I am on reserve through Christmas Day. Beth is going to spend Christmas with her family in Texas, and I hopefully will be able to fly to Reno for a couple of days. I only have the 26th and 27th off, so if I can fly home on Christmas Day, then I'll be able to see my parents for a day. It's a long way to fly for one day, but more than worth it. I haven't seen my mom since August, and my dad even longer before that. My brother and Rene will be here in Vegas so mom and dad will be childless for Christmas. I hate growing up!

I just found out going to New York might be more fun than anticipated! American announced Summer service only from New York to Rome and Barcelona starting in June! What a blast. I have long wanted to go to Italy, more than any other European country. I hope I get the chance! I was also looking up different layovers New York crews enjoy. Here's a sampling: Sao Paulo, Zurich, Paris and Tokyo, among some other layovers in the Caribbean I haven't stayed at like St. Maarten and St. Thomas. It will definitely be fun, but definitely different. Boston is a small base. There are about 400 international flight attendants in Boston and over a thousand in New York. Talk about being a number!
