I love the looks I get sometimes...

Asked my neighbor if she would mind feeding the cats for me on Sat. night & Sun morning. Told her I was flying to ANC for 12 hours and would be back by noon Sunday.

When she asked why, I was tempted to tell her it was a mileage run, but that would necessitate a long explanation. Instead I told her I had this major craving for fresh caribou steak...the look was priceless.

As to the original topic, there are some folks who will just NEVER understand, and I don't even try to get them to. They are the first ones to ask "Is FC really that good?" To which I answer..."if you ever flew FC you would know."

The last 2 free tickets I gifted were both F instead of coach, but I didn't tell the recipients. The phone calls afterwards were worth the extra miles spent for their F tickets.
