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.

A recap, flights and more…

I feel like I’m apologizing a lot lately for not posting… but again, here’s another apology. I have had SO much going on in my life as of late that I’m finding my spare time limited. 

I’ll give you a quick recap of the past month: 

  • Wedding (11/11)
  • Honeymoon (11/12-11/20)
  • Interviews (11/10, 12/10)
  • Surgery (12/8)

As for flights, I flew roundtrip to Dallas on November 10th. LAS - HOU - DAL - ELP - LAS. Then on December 10th I flew PHX - ELP - DAL - ELP - PHX… both flights were for interviews with you know who… :)  

PHX - LAS 12/6

This flight was pretty monumental for me. It was my first flight without my standard benefits - but of course, went off without a hitch. I got a window seat and shared the row with a very nice lady. 

LAS - PHX 12/13

I had my surgery in Las Vegas and was scheduled to come home on 12/15 - however, I was able to have my “week follow up” appointment two days early and the doctors gave me the approval to come home! Needless to say, as soon as I got the approval, I booked my flight.

There was a grand total of 15 people on my flight… I sat near the back of the plane so I had no one sitting around me. I spent the flight singing along to Drake’s new album, Take Care. Don’t worry… I made sure I wasn’t singing too loud. :) 

The flight itself was nice - I don’t think we climbed any higher than 20,000ft - but then again, I’m not totally sure. We flew below the cloud line and got some good bumps on the way into Phoenix. 

As I’m getting off the plane, I noticed the guy in front of me had a giant bag tag that read, “I <3 Airport Security”. Funny thing is, I noticed the bag tag before I noticed the GIANT rubber chicken hanging from the side of his bag. I wish I would’ve taken a picture of it… totally classy.
