Ok, my memory is being jogged a little bit here. I have:
Sat in UA's GlobalFirst both overseas legs of a trip (*drool*)
Gone to Alaska and Hawaii for day trips (maybe that's not too special around these parts, but it's sure fun to tell others who aren't in the industry)
Gone around the world (Entire routing being EAU-ORD-IAD-MAD-SVQ/SVQ-PMI/PMI-FRA/FRA-HKG/HKG-SFO-MSP/MSP-ORD-MSN
Landed an Airbus 320 simulator and ridden in a 747 simulator (ok, this was at my workplace, but still pretty awesome!)
Had my picture taken with a sea turtle behind me, a monkey on my head, a parrot in my hands, and a baby tiger I was petting. Not all in one picture.
Flew to COS and back just so I could try flying on a plane I hadn't been on before
Met Mike Tyson in line for security at LAS
Had my carry-on bag (which had my suit in it) go on a different flight than me the day before an interview, only to be unable to find it when I arrived at IAH
Celebrated $8 in winnings in RNO with a $10 prime rib
Proposed to my now-wife during a Norwegian festival in tiny-town, Iowa.
Flew to ORD so I could avoid a 6+ hour drive with the rest of my class
Been unexpectedly stuck overnight somewhere on a REVENUE ticket (never as a nonrev)
Flew to ORY with a cold so bad, I couldn't pop my ears on the flight. Or after the flight. Paris seemed like a really quiet city. But I bought the tickets a couple months prior and had a great deal on them, so I couldn't give that up.
Went to a Spanish birthday party. It lasted all day, with a ton of food and drinks. The kid was turning 11.
Crossed the border into Canada to take advantage of a lower drinking age
Maybe not the same huge flashy things as some of you guys have, but for a guy who turns 26 next week, had to work with school schedules for most of my life, and doesn't generally have much vacation time at work, I think I'm doing ok.
