Day 1

Well - Day 1 is drawing to a close. It's only about 6:30 Wendy and Rosie time, but it's much later then that my time. And since I was up Very Late last night and up early this morning - I'm ready to wind down and call it a day - while Wendy and Rosie are ready to par-tey!

Here are a few things of note so far:

Detroit airport has one ply toilet paper but the Washington airport has 2 ply - so they win when it comes to toilet paper.

I do not like taking off and landing in planes. I do not like planes. I was in the middle seat and they are so small, both people on either side of me invaded my personal space. I know it wasn't their fault - it's the compactness of the plane.

I was going to complain about this but it seems I made out better then Rosie when it came airline food. I was going to say I was offered a choice of either ONE cookie or a bag of about 10 dry roasted peanuts - I went for the peanuts. But apparently they wanted to CHARGE for a cookie on their flight.

The very oddest thing happened to me at the hotel. I was sitting outside the hotel - and a nice hotel it seems to be - when a guy came up and asked if I minded if he sat there. Men never do that to me!! It was very surreal I must say. I work at a place that's about 90% women so conversations with men are very rare in my life!! Now if this wasn't the case I wouldn't make a big deal of things, but it was so very - well - nice. We talked for quite some time and he was quite attractive

Anyway - others in the room want to use the puter so I'll say...

Kristie - over and out for Day 1 in Washington DC

It's funny 'cause I LOVE take offs and landings. I love to fly, actually. Except for the space issue. I do hate the forced closeness of planes.

Anyway, glad to hear you had a safe flight!

Ugh, I hate the middle seat in plane :( It's bad, especially when you don't like flying.

And seriously, airlines have become cheap with their snack... How long was the flight?
