Random Traveling Tales

If you know me well, you know that I am NOT HAPPY on an airplane without the window seat.

So yesterday when my flight took off, I opened the window as usual to bid farewell to my beloved Atlanta.

At the sight of all the gorgeous green disappearing beneath me, I immediately experienced a nauseating wave of homesickness, and tears started pouring down my face...so I shut the window.

I composed myself, ordered a cocktail, and talked my hilarious seatmate into getting the same (Mango-Peach Fuze & Vodka is THE BEST). We got slightly tipsy and had a random conversations about trains in Germany (although I have never been on a train or been to Germany).

After two Mango-Peach Fuze Vodkas, I decided it was safe to open the window again. GOD NO. Again, I started crying because it was BROWN, and there were UGLY MOUNTAINS, and NO GREEN anywhere...

So I got another cocktail. Thank God for those. And for my hilarious seatmate (holla, Grethel!).

Might Airtran consider offering in-flight Xanax?

You know, for a person who maybe needs a really good nap, but can't sleep on airplanes, and is maybe just a tad upset that Airtran decided their suitcase was oversize, although said person has flown their airline with the same suitcase at least 8 times and had no problems with it? Could you guys look into that for me? Thanks! xoxo
