One tight connection plus one late flight ⇒

Equals no baggage in Canada! My tight 37 minute connection in Houston got a whole lot tighter when the plan from San Antonio landed 25 minutes late!! Yikes! I ended up being the last person on the plan. Guess they were waiting for me.

The flights back were nice though as I was flying first-class! First time for me! Started off well as I talked my way into the Continental Executive Lounge in the San Antonio airport. Had a couple of Bailey's while I read some magazines and watched the British Open. On the way to Houston had great conversations with the flight attendants and the lady across from me (also a flight attendant). Made the short (55 minute) flight fly by (no pun intended! ;=)).

After my mad dash to my next flight I settled into the extra-wide seats of first class. Did you know that you get served a drink as soon as you sit down...before everyone else is even on the plane? Nice. And the headphones are free too! I thought it is funny that they serve me my drink in a glass, give me a real fork, but a plastic knife! I guess a steel kitchen knife is more dangerous than a broken glass, eh?

I think I could get used to flying first class. Too bad my company is cheap and I can't afford it!
