1. The fiancee's fear of time zones has been shot out of the water. :D She was tired yesterday, but that was more from genuine lack of sleep given the early flight.

2. I already did my observating on airside train cars.

3. SEA is definitely worth a return trip - I didn't make it out to Boeing Field, and I might go there for a longer trip and take a trip up to YVR overland instead of flying in.

4. I had no idea that UPS started as a laundry and errand service for Seattle's hookers, known to the masses as "seamstresses". At first I thought it was :eek:, but then I realized that it's only good old fashioned American ingenuity. ^ :D

Thanks to all for the good wishes on the prospect. I was amazed that I got a call about a hotel job on a Sunday, until I called back and realized that the caller was the Front Office Manager and not an HR rep. That's a good sign in and of itself.

Only on cup of coffee #1...but at least it's on Eastern time. My only gripe with the trip is a familiar one: my left ear hasn't cleared, so when I talk I'm getting an echo inside my head. Reverb sucks...it's like talking to myself on tape delay.

Anyone know off the top of their heads if my 8830 can do editing on Word files, and perhaps more importantly, will any fancy formatting come thru on the BB screen? I'm thinking about keeping a copy of my resume on the BB so it can be emailed on demand, but I won't do it if I have to redo my bullet points every time.

Speaking of Lie-Flat coach seating, how do you use the seat belt in such a situation? Hmm, Three pillows plus three blankets equals one real pillow.

Slowly coming to the realization that I don't have any travel planned beyond May/June. Starting to get the shakes...

Speaking of which, who will be in/around EWR this Saturday? I've got an eight hour layover between my SFO-EWR redeye and my LIM flight.

I'll just switch to booking CO.com specials on weekends when she's on-call. She'll never know. :D
