If you are in New Mexico

You are usually a long ass away from most places you want to go to. Wife and I are on our way to Amsterdam. In order to score business class frequent flyer mile paid for tickets we have go to Phoenix, then Washington DC then on to Amsterdam. 17 hours plus of travel if all goes smoothly.

We caught a 6:15 AM flight to Phoenix and are there now waiting for our next segment. You figure the math of when we had to get up. Boooooo.

My sympathies... Waking up early to catch a flight is one of my least favorite things in the world.

Of course, my 3am arrival to Baltimore airport on Monday was not too terrific either.

Honestly, I've never flown on a commercial plane before. After reading your post, I hope I never have to.

Dude! Quit complaining. You're going to AMSTERDAM! (I know. Easy for me to say hanging out here in my warm, comfy house.)

Isn't it worth it to get a chance to spend time with AinA and visit Barcelona?

Mike - You'll never make it out to New Mexico for cooking class if you don't fly.

Terri - Oh look at the jealousy. Do I make a scene when you go to Bemidji?

And yes Agent W it is well worth it to visit yea olde daughter in Amsterdam.

you'll forgive me if I have ZERO sympathy, seeing as I regularly make the damn 17+ hr flights to NM. ;)
