I See The Sun Is Creeping Up...

Changed Flights and Inflight Internet

Despite the previously in the early hours of the morning, our flights have changed again - for the better. Phoenix to Atlanta, and then Atlanta to Sy. Louis, with any luck, missing the bad weather in Kansas City. Should be a good surprise for Chris & Shelly when they find out!

So, the other news is that this is my first flight on a WiFi aircraft! Pretty sweet, especially considering the free trial. After working on such a system years ago, for a solid year and a half, it's pretty sweet to see in flight internet a reality. Not that it's the system I worked on (which ain't no surprise to me [wink]).

The netbook id working out quite well, even with the seat infront of me reclined (why does it always happen to me???).

Things have gone fairly smoothly this morning. At the end of the day I probably got about two hours sleep before waking up at 4:30am to get ready to head to Skyharbor.

On arriving, we expected to find the long term car park full (we called ahead) and that we'd have to use the more expensive garage. However, with a little driving around we found a park in the cheaper lot - which gave us some hope for the rest of the day.

We got our flights changed successfully to get to St. Louis, as there were concerns that we'd get stranded in Kansas City (or not get there at all), so that all worked out good.

Got on the plane, to disocer not judt the free internet for me, but the free TV, which has made Katie extremely excited. I think it's the first domestic flight in the US I've been on that has free TV.

Flying over Nrw Mexico earlier, it was really weird to think what normally takes us 8 hours driving, took 40 minutes this morning. Air travel is pretty sweet, when you can afford it.

Funnily enough, given that we're going to Atlanta, IO figured that it'd mean that I was going the furthers east than I have gone before. It's certainly the closest I've been to the east coast, but looking at the map, I'm not sure that Atlanta is more east, or as east as Detroit. Well, either way, it's a new city and new state for me!
