Planes & Cars
No big secret, I love to fly. My first flight ever was a trans-atlantic to Germany with my mom. I was 9 months old and according to mom I slept and cooed the entire time. The first real rule I remember learning as a child was to keep my nose and peanut butter residued paws off the windows in the terminal. I (still) love to watch planes take off and land. I’ve taken at least one flight every year since I was about 9.
While I know that airports and flying turn some people into swollen masses of cortisol… I still love it.
Here is the boarding line for Southwest at SeaTac. She is saying how much they appreciate us flying with them, that they appreciate our cooperation as the flight is very full and to follow the signs to know when to line up.
The translation:
“You have chosen a bargain basement airline. We will use techniques adapted from factory farmers to squeeze as many of you as possible into this plane for the lowest possible overhead. When we’re done the term Sardines in a Can will resonate in every cell of your body. Even the complimentary bag of peanuts will be so small it would be better described as an act of good will than a snack. Since you can buy a new pair of boots at DSW for more than you paid for this airline ticket, your opinions, while mildly interesting, are irrelevant. Enjoy your flight.”
It is true. The boots I want at DSW cost more than my seat on this flight – round trip. They are super cute. So while it was enjoyable, I think it is safe to assume hot towels won’t be distributed near the end of the flight. Such is life. ;o)
The car part was short and painless. If you google Alamo & last minute there are screaming deals. I got a full size car for $11 a day. Between that and getting in and out in 15 minutes… what is not to like?
So far we have:
Ferry
Car
Cab
Lightrail
Airplane
We may have the opportunity to add zipline and i’m thinking i’ll spend part of tomorrow morning finding some OTHER obscure way to get around. ;o)
