UMTravels

OK — I’m shocked. Here is a portion of an email I just sent to my wonderful hosts for this weekend’s travel:

Flight an hour late getting out of Chico, but I had a two hour layover so still had time for lunch – and then they even served me a snack on the flight north – mind you, a sprig of red grapes, some crackers, and a couple of wedges of real cheese (rather than pre-wrapped laughing cow) is a pretty small snack – but it’s been YEARS since I had a snack on a SEA/SFO run.

Really, I am shocked about the snack. Complete with cloth table cloth, but minus the napkin. Real classes and plates. And yes, I drank them out of Chivas Regal, and they were too overwhelmed with a full flight (apparently the 737 that was to leave 15 minutes earlier cancelled) that they didn’t run to the back for their only bottle.

I guess there IS a reason to look at what size plane you are flying. The 757-200 specs (http://www.seatguru.com) are:

and the 737 specs are:

so, needless to say — lots more people — the line stretched into the cafe area down the concourse.

And here is what I think the final Obama/Biden design will be:

I like the fact that there are two crosses in the design.
