[TRAVELED: November 1-November 8, 2014] Airlines & Chain food
Our Florida trip ended a week ago, so it seemed time to mention a few things that were pretty great which were not related to theme parks at all.
The first was our flight from Lehigh Valley International Airport.
I used to love flying. I remember flying on Eastern as a kid and getting free wing pins. I even got invited to see the cockpit of the plane (but I thought I would have to fly up there without my parents so I turned them down–my parents were probably bummed that they didn’t get to check out the cockpit themselves). I even have a few good memories of flying. My best memory was flying on Dec 31, 1999 to Vancouver and, because it was the eve of Y2K, getting nearly an entire airplane to myself (chickens!) and being served champagne as a toast to the new year (in coach, mind you).
Since 9/11, flying has been an ordeal and I swore I’d never do it again. We usually fly out of Newark, which I always assumed was a normal, busy airport, not the best but certainly not the worst. But after flying out of ABE, I hope to never et foot in Newark again. (more…)
