Comfort and Flying: who put those words together?

On rare occasions I have been able to use years of saved Frequent Flyer miles to sit in the front of the ‘bus’.    And it is better than the back.

But now I have discovered Virgin Atlantic, premium.    You may have to fly hundreds of miles to an airport that Virgin  but one benefit is only 6 hours in the air if you leave from Boston.
a splurge for premium economy was well worth it, the return will be with the peasants in the back and I shall let you know how that is……..an additional $500+ for a return was NOT worth it.

What a shock when they offered dinner……perhaps I am not cosmopolitan enough, I had to ask what the entrée way and when it was explained to me I could not eat either.
Not a problem, we arrive in 6 hours and no one starved in 6 hours…….and as part of this adventure, can  you become fit, loose weight and still have afternoon tea and cake…..

Travel Warrior On The Road

Travel warrior day one!

I have not flown since December and now I know why.   The weather was visually fine but the plane was tossed around ……  what I remember a roller coaster feels like the one time I went on that!
I am in the back of the plane so that I can have room for my luggage to find there are LOTS of vacant aisle seats…   But Delta wanted $25.00 to book me a unavailable seat and another 25 or 30 to give me one in the front of the plane…..perhaps this is why I drive.
I believe my travel in 2014 will be by car, train or boat.  And when I see one of the great deals for business class, I shall take that.    Yes I will travel less but I shall not be crippled when I try to squeeze out of the sea.     If I had only planned better and faster I would have taken a boat to England…..

Next a Virgin flight.  I have heard it is wonderful, but the source travels for business in the front of the plane….  shall let you know.

This is my first time at Boston airport:  wow, bright, clean and wide open spaces but they really missed out on stuff to see, do and buy in the departure area…. cant have everything.

And can you tell me why you NEVER sleep the day before a BIg trip!

36 Hours and Still Not Ready

Thinking I started packing far in advance I did not plan for flooding yesterday and power outage.

Not only could I not see to pack or iron BUT I spent 5 hours in the basement when the power returned to remove water.

At 1 am I just gave up to the flood.   Sad to say, the cost to replace the carpet is far less than missing the flights....

So next stop is the airport and the uncomfortable seat that I paid an extra $50.00 for to be ABLE TO SIT ON THE AISLE!

Isn't travel great?
