Thank you, Salt, I appreciate that very much. I hope to have some interesting trip reports when I get back. I am still at a point in my life that I am not completely jaded when it comes to flying, and certain silly things still give me a thrill. I have never flown inter-continental first, so I am very excited about the experience. About a week ago, I flew DEN-LAX in United's 747-400. Since I will be on AA for a while, I am burning some of my UA miles with upgrades. The trip was actually ONT-DEN-ORD-CMH-DEN-LAX-ONT, so it was worth it for me. Anyway, I was put upstairs on the 744 and was goofing around with the seats, just thinking to myself how neat it was to be up there. I think I need a lobotomy...

BTW, sorry I didn't respond sooner, as I just got back from flying all over the country for a various number of reasons (not milage runs). The CMH trip was only a third of the flights. I still need to go to DFW, but I don't really feel like it, so I am going to shine it off until the summer.
