I was so glad this flight was only an hour. I could not bare any longer in Coach!!!

After having to pull everyone out of my jacket to get checked... it is only later that I find I LOST MY SHARP WIZARD ORGANIZER!! I DID MY BEST TO AVOID HAVING A CORONARY, BUT I HAD TO GO OUT AND BUY A NEW ORGANIZER at BEST BUY! (OMNI: The workers there slow, some disorganized. Prices good but service is a lot ot be desired!)

I find the gate and wait. Boarding delayed 20 minutes for "cleaning because of late arrival of flight." MY big concern is that I won't have room to get both bags on the plane.

Since I'm in 9b, I finally board. SO sad I am as I walk by first class to an aisle seat. My rollaway goes in the overhead, the Harrod's bag under the seat in front of me!

I settle in but do NOT Buckle in waiting for my seatmate. Then there's this guy dressed all in black standing there staring at me. I point to the seat and he snarls "Well what do you think I"ve been standing over here for?"
He muttered something as he stepped over my Harrod's bag but I did hear "If someone's standing there then people should know they want to sit down." He sighs that he's stuck in the seat next to me. What a sourpuss, I guess he got rocks for Christmas and his girlfriend/wife broke up with him.

The F-A who was the purser and handling flight announcements said this was her first flight in First class and she was nervous. She did the safety and other announcements as best as she could, but she mixed up subject/verb agreement. She was very very friendly (unlike the two in coach who rushed through the beverage service.)

Flight uneventual except for Mr. Personality shifting around in his seat and grumbling.
I guess he'll spend New year's Alone.

We land, I am thankful and Mr. Personality rushes through to get off the plane.

Then I head for the waiting area... More on that under:
