On a flight about 5 years ago (when the airlines still served food), I was seated behind a young woman with very long straight blond hair. I knew it was very long and straight because after she reclined her seat, she flipped her hair over the back of the seat, where it reached down far […]

During the summer of 2005 my son was in a serious accident while serving in the Navy. Serious meaning 2 weeks in ICU, another 4 in the Medical Center and then another 2 in rehab. When the doctors authorized me to take him home, I purchased first class tickets – for the extra room. We […]

After an uneventful and uncrowded morning flight to Orlando from Ft Lauderdale, I was looking forward to the same for my flight back home that evening. Not to be. It was a full flight and I had to choose a middle seat from what was left. Having had some interesting experiences in the past, I […]

I was on a flight home from a family reunion and I was traveling alone which I had never done. When I sat down on the plane I had a bad feeling. I had ended up with a middle seat in the middle aisle and that is never good. Much to my dismay two hefty […]
