Yesterday was a 17-hour travel marathon (the third such for me in four weeks) which at last got me to San Francisco. Looking back on the trip here, there are a few things I’ve realized.
1. No amount of cold medication alleviates your cold symptoms in an airplane. There’s a reason Advil doesn’t show airplane scenes in their Cold and Sinus television ads.
2. A pomeranian in your purse does not give you the right to decide who sits where. This seems self-evident, but was the subject of considerable argument between the flight crew and a woman from New Jersey who wanted there to be an open seat beside her for her dog.
3. If you’re a woman from New Jersey, you need to be more aware that your accent may be unpalatable to certain of your fellow airplane passengers.
4. If you’re a woman from New Jersey, and can only quiet your yapping toy dog by yelling her name, #2 may be invalidated.
