My sister worked as cabin crew for BA for her entire working life. Back in the early days, when baggage handlers had a certain reputation, BA staff didn't bother to lock their cases. They just left a note inside marked "Crew".

Cubs and Cards, huh? And not quite first and second any more, after the Reds came through in extra innings.

I watched the Cubs beat the Phillies on Sunday. I don't think you can catch them.

A wild card is possible, but the Rockies are closing in. You really need to beat the Nationals today, which shouldn't be too difficult, even with Scherzer pitching.

Nah, we lost just the same. I think post season is out of the question.

I did bar be que some pork ribs, however. Well, I grilled them. I also bought a three man tent at Wal Mart, as I don't like to hang on to tents too long or use them alot, I figure it will do fine.

Saddle packed?

Yes, and everything else on my checklist, which gets more comprehensive with each one of these trips I do. I don't get obssessive about it or anything, it's just that if I remember to take everything, I can just relax and enjoy the trip all the more.

Bon vacance!

Merci beaucoup, Monsieur Fondo.

Having a late night before bed.

Sinuses playing up again, no wonder I felt so tired earlier...

A row 51 seat. Pick the two seats at the side of the aircraft. The aisle gets wider at that point and you can stretch your legs. If you are lucky, you can see the coast of Greenland and the glaciers calving icebergs into the sea. The loos are not too close, and the kitchen is handy if you want a tomato juice when the trolley isn't operating.

18K. For a price, of course. The other long legs are similar: I paid extra to get slightly better seats. As for sleep: probably not. Even with earplugs, eye mask, blanket and neck pillow, I never have much success at sleeping on long-haul flights.

Row 51 @Shut Up Legs ! By the window!

Trust me.

Trust me.

On that plane, row 51 would have me hanging on to the tailfins for dear life, and freezing into an icicle.

Closer to the icebergs of Greenland. Think yourself lucky!

Ooops, wrong plane.

Edit: Row 41 or 42 would be good. By the windows!

Morning! I'm going to be like a sore with a bear head later. I have been awake since 1 o' clock!
It wasn't a good idea to try drinking a litre of water in the evening and holding it in for an hour. I seem to have passed that with flying colours. Not only did I achieve 1 hour but several. Well until 1 o'clock! Since that time the record has changed to Cat Stevens singing " I Can't Keep It in ! "
I wonder what other 60's and 70's records I will encounter ?
