a new way to fly

I now know what it somewhat feels like to at least "travel" like a celebrity or somebody important.

No security, no lines, no waiting, no tray tables up or cell phones off, and they really didn't even tell me to sit down as a matter of fact. I was even allowed in the cockpit area of the plane prior to taking off! I sat in a couch, there was food to eat, anything we wanted to drink and such a smooth ride. It was a little weird having visibility to the pilot's front window but it made for a beautiful view as we were preparing to land in Racine, Wisconsin which is on Lake Michigan. It looks more like an Ocean from up above.

Because we were traveling with customers, our two days at the HQ service was spectacular. Amazing accommodations at the house/conference center our company owns, incredible food, and a fun evening with signature wines and our own game room for some late night fun.

Although traveling means I have to be away from my Family, trips that are this "luxe" may be few and far between- but make my job fun and rewarding. And a little bit of feeling "cool" if you will.

It's funny because if my parents were alive, I would be talking and bragging to Mom and Dad right now. They would listen and seemed interested in all of the details. No one is more interested in your daily life and experiences then your Mom and Dad. Even if they are cheesy stories about my first time sitting in a cockpit and traveling via a company plane. I miss having that...everyday.....

Back to commercial travel on Monday. Darn. I could get used to this way of travel...
