First Class!

I've had a request to blog about my trip home last weekend. I will do my best to post something more detailed soon, but I'm crunched for time so let me just tell you how I got out there.

NWA overbooked my flight on the way out so they bumped me to a much earlier one. Fortunately, I had gone home early from work so I made it to the airport on time. The first leg of the flight was uneventful, as was the stop in Minneapolis. (For never living there, I am intimately familiar with that airport--but that's another story.) The second leg of the flight was wonderful because when they bumped me---dum da da dum!---I got to fly first class! I must say, I was pretty excited and Spencer was pretty jealous. It was a brand new plane and the leather seats were roomy and super nice. I could even cross my legs! The trays were roomy and they serve you drinks right when you get on the plane. We even had dinner with real silverware and real glasses! I had the vegetable ravioli, a side salad, a roll, lots of diet Pepsi, and Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia. It was awesome! Needless to say, all flights from here on out are mildly disappointing. But, in the end, whether you sit in coach or in first class, everyone gets there at the same time. Some of them just get there with fuller stomachs. :)
