About



I’m your average traveler.
Well, maybe not so average… I fly pretty frequently. I'm happy when I get a good seat, frustrated when flights are delayed, and am very much appreciative of Southwest Airlines' bags-fly-free policy. I am blessed to live the life I'm living.

I have this blog because I have stories to tell, people to meet and places to visit. I’d like to share my experiences with whoever stops by!

NOTE: I am not affiliated with Southwest Airlines, I just
happen to fly them.
A lot.

Flight 3481, 2109

PHX - SEA 10/1

I was so thrilled to be heading to Seattle… I do love that city. I think it’s because the weather… I’ve lived in the desert most of my life so a change of climate is always nice. 

My flight was great - I only got a few hours of sleep and was expecting to nap but that didn’t end up happening. I had an aisle to myself so I stretched out, read the new SPIRIT magazine and worked on some homework. We got some DELICIOUS Nabisco snack… I don’t even know how to describe it. Sweet, salty and soo yummy. I asked for another pack and the flight attendant gave me two more! I was stoked. When we landed, I got some awesome video of the air trail (not sure what it’s called?) coming from the tips of the wings.

Oh, and did I mention we were flying on Maryland One? The plane itself isn’t the prettiest to look at, but I the canoe flaps were black (instead of red) so I enjoyed getting some pictures of those.

While I was in Seattle, I spent my time with my cousin and her two-year-old son. It was his birthday, so I bought him a Mickey Mouse airplane toy. He played with it all weekend. 

SEA - PHX 10/3

I asked my cousin to drop me off early so I could spend some time at this store called Fireworks in the airport. I could spend hours in that store… I’m telling you, if you have that one person that you can never find a gift for, that’s the store you’ll find something for them. 

When I got to the gate to get my boarding pass, I found out that our plane was “broken” (exact words from the customer service agent… haha), so we were going to have to wait an hour and a half for another plane. I wasn’t too upset about it because it gave me the opportunity to catch some great video of planes taxiing and taking off.

The flight itself was short because, well, I slept 2 of the 2.5 hours. haha I was exhausted after the weekend so it was good to catch up on some sleep.

To top off a great weekend, when I picked up my car and went to pay for parking, the guy dropped the cost down from $27 to $12… and he gave me a full stamp card so I’ll get a free day of parking next time! Score!
