Thoughts from Seat 54K

Seat 54K! Yikes! You have to love an airplane that has 61 rows. As I type, I'm aboard United flight 916 from Dulles to Frankfurt, a Boeing 747-400. I've been so excited to fly on this plane! Once aboard, my first thought was, "man, I'm already a long way from the ground, and we haven't even started taxiing yet!" This is one tall, heavy plane. It lumbered into the air on take-off, but we're now cruising at 698mph and 35000'. Just waiting on dinner to be served so that I can get a few hours sleep.

The flight from Norfolk to Washington was as you might expect--short and uneventful. We barely got airborne before we began our descent into chilly Washington. Good to be traveling again!

More to come...
