Things I have learned today
July 26, 2006
1) Airlines no longer feed you. Even if you are travelling across the entire country and spending the whole day in the plane.
2) They also will not let you off the plane when there are layovers so that you can buy food.
3) It is possible to scare your fellow passengers by laughing too much, which seems to be a direct result of starvation.
4) Sometimes the very last person to get on an airplane, you know the annoying person that has to be paged several times before they finally show up and then walk down the aisle banging everyone in the head with their suitcase. Sometimes that person is you.
5) The Holiday Inn shuttle driver will NOT bring you to the Hyatt. Even if you complain about the heat and your hunger.

Hang in there. It WILL get better. (It can’t get any worse)
July 27th, 2006 at 3:07 amI hope nexted you learn how good the food is!:D
July 27th, 2006 at 5:27 amHehehe… great to know you arrived safely. Enjoy!
July 27th, 2006 at 5:38 amI hear drivers can be bribed with tampons. Well, some of them can.
July 27th, 2006 at 6:23 amFor those of you worried about Chris—never fear. She was miraculously revived last night by about 3 pounds of guacamole.
July 27th, 2006 at 7:13 amDamn airlines have gotten cheap! No food even for cross country flights?
Glad ya’ll landed safely!
July 27th, 2006 at 7:49 amWelcome to California!
July 27th, 2006 at 8:00 amGlad you arrived safely and were able to revive yourself with Guacomole. Guacomole makes everything better!
July 27th, 2006 at 8:06 amAnd was that guacamole accompanied with any cerveza? Margaritas? Or just chips?
July 27th, 2006 at 9:15 amThe best part of flying used to be getting little packaged meals. Now we have to sit and peek over the seats to see what they’re having in first class. Feels like discrimination, although I KNOW they’re paying an arm and a leg. Still doesn’t feel right that some people are hungry and others are eating in style.
July 27th, 2006 at 10:49 amHmm…I think you can purchase a meal for your flight home, when you check in at the airport. Might be worth the $10. Isn’t it scary they won’t feed you unless you ask ahead of time, but you can easily buy all the liquor you want at any time during the flight?! Hopy your trip is a blast!
July 27th, 2006 at 10:58 amOh, how I wish I could have warned you in advance but it sounds like your trip went very well.
July 27th, 2006 at 5:58 pm>> Airlines no longer feed you.
This is so true! I recently flew across country and back with my 16-yr-old daughter, was on four different planes, and not one of them feed us anything more than a tiny bag of nuts. Meh.
And found your blog thru Woulda Coulda Shoulda.
