Twilight Zone
Believe it or not, today is the first time I have been on an airplane since Thanksgiving.
Despite the weather, I arrived in ATL on-time, and there was a ramp crew waiting on the airplane and a jetway driver was there as well. After exiting the jetway, things were very orderly and quiet on D. Wow, what is going on?
Currently sitting in B24 SC and it is half full, all food fully stocked, and I know this is crazy talk, but......a stack of newspapers. To make matters worse, no one is screaming into their cell phone.
My next flight is on-time and a couple of gates away.
What in the world is going on? What happened to that travel experience I have grown so accustomed to? Oh, the horror. I am not sure I know how to act.
The next thing you will tell me is my bag will make it. This is getting INSANE!

My last flight was November 15th and my first flight on 2013 is tomorrow. I'm hoping Wednesday is as boring as Tuesday and things really have changed to the travel experience I remember.

Update:
Bag beat me to baggage claim, and I walk really fast.
FA in FC was awesome.
What happened to the cranberries in the snack basket?
If every trip was like this traveling would actually be fun.
