Out of Ohio for the Week

Today begins my crazy month of December as I am travelling to San Antonio for conference/training. I have mixed feelings about going. Why? Because it's Christmas time, my favorite time of the year and I will be missing out a week of admiring our decorated house.

I did finish my shopping last week and that is a great thing.

So I'm drafting this on the plane because it's a 2 and ½ hour flight and I can't nap because, in my usual worry mode, I'm wondering if my luggage will be on the plane. My flight from Cleveland to O'Hare was supposed to leave at 9:35. But because of weather issues with the incoming plane, we didn't take off until 10AM. Problem with that was my connecting flight to San Antonio was leaving O'Hare at 10:45 Central time. We did arrive at 10:15 at the G Concourse. The Connecting flight was on the K Concourse. Thank goodness the same terminal. Hopefully it made it. And luckily at the last minute I decided to check in my carryon – because I knew I already had a 45 minute layover if it was on time. We just made it to the connecting flight as they were getting ready to close the door.

And another nice thing…there is no curtain separating first class and coach – NICE – you can see all the nice service they are getting while we sit back here and just get a beverage. No snacks unless you pay $3 to $4 – with a credit card only. Really? A credit card for a $3 snack.

Good thing when we go to Vegas on the 30^th, we get snacks cause we're flying Continental!! One of the few airlines that offer snacks – for free.
