On the plane at the moment and I've lost the little foamy piece on my earbud (advantage of being deaf - I just have to use one) so I'm spending some time catching up - as opposed to shoving a piece of hard plastic in my ear to listen to something I've heard a million times.
Just a note to anyone who thinks being an airline buddy is a cool deal... First, the pass still cost almost $500 and while initially there were plenty of seats on my scheduled 9:30 departure, I decided to go early. To make a long story short, there were three flights to ATL that I wouldn't have made it on. So, while I'm at DFW, bf managed to get on the Internet in FCO and reserve me a tck over at AA. Trouble was, I had to clear skipping my DAL leg (make sure my FCO leg wouldn't drop), get back out behind security, go to the ticket counter to actually buy the thing, get back through security and back to the gate... in about 20 minutes. Thanks to the lovely TSA agent who let me cut and didn't even want to touch my junk. And to AA, who sold me that ticket for only $69!
So, after much sweating it out, I made it to ATL and barely had a good enough time to get myself on the FCO flight, but here I sit back in the middle on 26, next a very nice boy about 10 and a priest. Oh, and my headset thingy is acting up. But the movies are decent (The Social Network and then Eat, Pray, Love) and the wine is free.
If you're keeping up, $$ spent so far (not counting AA ticket) is $4.69 for lunch at Hartsfield. It would have been free but Starbucks (to which I had gift cards) didn't not have a egg salad sandwich. Dang it. The tea sweetened with the syrup was pretty good though.
Oh! "pasta or chicken" is coming down the aisle! With more free wine I hope.
