BUSY friday at work scrambling to get notes out before our 6pm flight from newark. interesting flight seating arrangement.

my aunt got my round trip flight upgraded to first/biz class, so i gave kevin my upgraded seat, which turned out to be the row right in front of his economy plus seat. unfortunately in giving him my seat, i got his economy plus middle seat in between a HUGE hair project manager and an even larger black woman, who was lucky enough to be upgraded to plus seating. after 15 minutes of sitting separately, i think we both were a bit miserable, and kevin got up and offered her a second upgrade to first lol. :) so he and i were back in our original plus seats.

traveling in class is no fun alone!

first stop after landing ~ TSUJITA ANNEX. they have the tastiest tsukemen and most QQ noodles! we ate this at what was 2:00am NY time :)

best: relatives who offer their unused free airline fare upgrades! thanks to my auntie, i will be flying back to nyc in biz class, which is especially nice since i will be taking three sunday night red-eye flights back from the west coast in the course of the next month and a half.

worst: super thin united airlines seats. ow ow ow. the aisle seemed extra cramped too - what's going on?

smile: when male coworkers bring up photos of their kids on their phones and walk them around the aisle with big grins on their faces:) of the six dads on this desk, there are 7 daughters and 2 sons. proud daddies!
