I was chatting with a friend via ICQ about traveling so I sent her to this page. The one you're reading Right Now.

She said "There's three pictures of planes on it".

Soooo now that I've got this Blogger thing working right, I will, over time, be posting pix and commentary from my trips to Asia. This is something that I've been meaning to do for several years now. And since I've finally cleaned off my desk, this is the next thing to do on the "To Do" list.

Well, at least it's something to read at work, eh?

Flew back to SFO on the same kind of jet.

Going thru security was awful. Only one checkpoint and a really long line.

Sloooooooow

I met a really attractive young woman in line behind me. She said she was a teacher of little kids. I asked, "San Francisco Unified"? She laughed a lot and said "Marin".

She would get eaten alive in the SFUSD. If the students didn't get her, the administration and union would. No one's allowed to be attractive or young there.

When I associate Air Travel with airplanes, the concept of a big bus with 4 engines, some space and 1st class service comes to mind.



Or these



So when I have to fly a regional jet, all that goes out the window.



Isn't this a tad too small?

In fairness, it's pretty fast, if cramped. Smooth riding. No overhead compartments to speak of. Not too bad.



But still, isn't this a tad too small?
