Well, I have had the luxury over the past couple months of not having to travel too terribly much, but this week it's back-on-the-road for me. Time to start racking up those frequent flier miles again, heh.

This week I will be in New York City (arriving this evening - I am on a plane in Chicago on a ground hold, just waiting to take off for LaGuardia... Nice to sit on a plan on the ramp for an hour and a half eh?). I'll be back home for a weekend on Mt. Hood with the youth group from church, and then Monday morning it's right back on another plane to head for Atlanta for a few days.

My hope is that I won't have to live the same crazy travel schedule I did last year, but my job calls for it, so a certain amount of it is to be expected (and accepted). If we ever get off the ground in the plane, that is. Maybe I'll spend the rest of 2007 here eating peanuts and working via Verizon broadband and a Cingular wireless phone. I guess it could be worse. I mean, they do have three (bad) movies in the tape library.

If you're in New York or Atlanta, let me know. I won't have a lot of free time but its always fun to try to meet people on the road if I can.

Just be glad you don't have to watch the same movie 4 times. On my last overseas flight, I was forced to watch X-Men 3 four times. Yes, four times. My laptop battery was dead and I packed my AC adapter in my checked luggage along with my 2 books.

I watched X-Men 3 three times on m last trip to Europe. Today we watch a movie while waiting on the ground and almost finished it before we got in the air. A couple hours sitting was followed by a couple hours flying (ahh flying in holding pattern circles is so much fun), followed finally by sitting on the tarmac about 50 feet from the gate, waiting for what seemed like forever for someone to show up and guide the plane up to the jetway.

Glad I upgraded to first class with some of those certificates they sent me, heh.

So, $40 cab fare later I am down in NYC on Broadway, in the hotel (which is not too bad) and just ate some great food down the street, and on top of that pro hockey is live on the TV. I mean really, what more can you ask for???
