Flight 1404, 1083, 1558
PHX - SJC, 12/23
I have to say, my flight to San Jose was anything but ordinary. The flight was pretty full and I got lucky to have some cool people sitting next to me. The guy that was sitting in the aisle seat was coming home from Afghanistan and the gal in the middle seat was heading home for the holidays. The guy showed us a video of footage he had shot with his helmet cam over in...

Flight 1991 12/18
LAS - PHX
Well I came home last night and fell asleep so I didn’t type up a blog. And I haven’t been home all day today so I couldn’t type up a blog earlier. I’m a bad blogger. :(
Before I get into my flight details, I should mention that meeting up with westjet757 was awesome. We went down to the airport and watched planes land. He taught me all about how to identify...

A must-see complete recreation of the famous bird strike and subsequent US Airways jet landing into the Hudson River. This recreation shows the real-time events of the exact positioning of the aircraft, synchronized with the audio from the various frequencies on the radio. You’ll also even notice captions spoken that weren’t heard on the radio between the captain & co-pilot. This...

Flight 2959
PHX - LAS
The airport tonight was a ZOO. I totally felt bad for all of the agents working… at the gate I was at, there were three people working and 20+ people in line. It was insane.
There were flight delays, ground stops, severe weather and air traffic control issues all throughout the country.
And guess which flight I chose to leave on? The only one on time. hah So of course, everyone...

Flight 391, 1029, 164
PHX - RNO
Let me just start off by saying that I am *so* not a morning person. Waking up before noon was quite the struggle but I did it! My flight was great. There was this adorable baby sitting in front of me. She was less than a year old and was completely enamored when I’d pop my head over the seat to play peek-a-boo with her.
The rest of the flight I spent reading the new Spirit...

Paid In Pennies Blog
Many of you may not know that I have a tiny blog called Paid In Pennies.
What you also may not know is that my guy and I are planning on paying for our wedding with spare change we find on the ground… hence the name, “Paid In Pennies”.
Over the last year, we’ve found quite a bit of money just laying on the ground. Whether it’s a penny at the grocery store or a dime...

Your thoughts on the body scans?
There’s so much controversy over them… but honestly, I’m all about it. I don’t EVER want some random stranger touching me… especially on my naughty bits. If that means that they get to see a picture of me naked, fine. Plus, the photo they take isn’t too terribly invasive (in my opinion). If anyone is getting off looking at the TSA body scans, well, then...
