So I did it!!!! My first non rev flight!!!



Monday, 2AM, shower and off to bed after work.

5 AM, off to park at work and hoping I catch the 7AM flight to MSP.

6:45 - board flight- I made it!

8:30 - flight takes off at last - the ONE contingency I hadn't thought of - Broken airplane!! Oops - this means I'll miss my connection! *worried*

2:00PM - Arrive MSP - realize that the best/only option is to to fly into LGA instead.

7:00 PM - Arrive in NYC to happy reunion with my dearest friend.

11:00 PM - After lovely dinner and drinks at my other home, a nice warm bed and a great night's sleep.

Tuesday:

9:00 AM, Breakfast, lovely conversation and the reading of a draft of my friend's play (oh it's a corker!)

11:00 AM - off to the Mall and to ride PTC 15!

12 Noon - Lunch in my favorite Greek restaurant in Terrytown, and like bringing coal to Newcastle, some fresh roasted Coffee for my gracious hostess and some for home.

1:00pm - A wander around the Old Dutch Church yard and some cool graves.

3:00PM - Coffee and a slice of real NY cheesecake - granted it has a brownie attached but what the hell.

4:00PM - Hop the plane at HPN (got on without a problem) and a nice little hop back to MSP.

7:00PM - MSP - a bit of Mid-West Pizza for dinner (not a good idea before a flight - too much salt!)

9:45PM - All is well, there's room on the Flight home - finally a bit pooped.

11:30PM Arrive in Seattle, wander back to my car which is safely waiting for me in the parking lot - feels like I just got off work.

Midnight, pull into my parking space to be greeted by my girls - and now, 40 some odd hours later, it's time for bed... back to work in 15 hours!

Hmmmm - maybe Memphis next time!
