First Flights (cont)

Dinner on the plane consisted of a TV Dinnerish Chicken Parmesan with Potatoes, Green Beans, and a big chunk’a’chocolate brownie. I’m also looking forward to breakfast, I hear we get croissants and hot tea, that’s pretty exciting, I’m feeling European already.

These TV’s embedded into the back of every seat have yet to cease amazing me. You’ve got Flight info (including the ever popular “You Are Here” map), Music Selections, a handful of cable channels and a decent movie selection. I saw watched Timeline at the beginning of the flight and it wasn’t bad… I bet the book was better.

I like talking to the stewardesses. I like how you can get free Soda and Peanuts/Pretzels anytime you walk to the back of the plane. It was a fun game to flirt with the lady stewardesses and pretend like they we’re giving me preferential treatment. I think they thought it was funny as well, that or they hated it and me but laughed because it was their job. Either way I was happy and that’s all that matters. You better believe I took advantage of my free pillow and blanket as well.

We are supposed to meet Rachel Chapman today at like 10:00 or something. Rachel is somehow associated with the Ryder’s, and Josh hasn’t seen Rachel in more than 10 years. So the best part about this is that he really doesn’t remember what she looks like at all. We’re banking on her being able to pick out the two good looking and obviously lost Americans with the ridiculously large backpacks. Assuming all goes well, she’s going to give us a key to her apartment (or “flat” in Brit-speak). Ok, I’ve got 2 hours left ‘till landing, I guess I’ll try and catch some more sleep while I can. I can see that Josh hasn’t been sleeping well either, that gives me some joy. He was making fun of “The Last Starfighter.” I still hate him.
