Hi all,

Im writing this the night before the grand adventure. This time last year I was working on a plan for a flight to some family that I had in Phoenix, I made my flight arrangements (delta first class awards, O class) for a trip that would become an adventure. Work was slowing down with the economy, and I was given a couple weeks right after the inauguration to take a vacation. This trip however would be different, my return date was not set and I have been sitting on a fairly large reserve of cash. so my adventure begins, I will be flying to Phoenix but then, on monday I will walk into Phoenix Sky Harbor and purchase myself another one way first class ticket due west to whatever the first flight out of the country is, I plan to circle the earth making stops in cities that I have only read about in books or seen on TV.

However I digress, first things first.

TSS-JFK

Flying US helicopters I will depart 34th street, the flight should take 8 minutes from liftoff to touchdown, and because of codeshare partnerships with DL I will be dropped off right next to my boarding aircraft and shuffled off to the Crown Room 35 minutes before departure since security is apparently handled at 34th street as well as luggage check in.


to be continued when i take the flight
