I'm obviously not superstitious...I mean I am leaving this Friday the 13th for a 4-flight transpacific trip to HKG.

But I do have this strange need to have a cigarette or two before I step on a plane...Thing is, I'm not a regular smoker, I'm not a nervous flyer--I mean I take 50-60 flights per year. But I absolutely have to have a cigarette before getting on a plane. I buy the pack at my home airport, head for the RCC for another when I get to ORD...Put the pack away, grab my next one before departing for home, another at ORD on my way home, then throw the pack away when I get home.

Easier said than done--smoking at LAX or SFO is a little harder than say NRT or CLT.
