Going and Going

I went home for Christmas... That is not a secret!  I did a pretty good job of keeping my family on their toes as they guessed what day I would be arriving.  The only people who knew the exact date of my return was the airlines, the lady who does my hair and my ride home from the airport!  I SUCCESSFULLY snuck into town and surprised a few of my family members!  I spent 16 glorious days in south- rubbing on Queen B's belly, harassing my family, getting on my family nerves, going to Wal-mart, drinking cafe with my Mimi and much more.    I really think that this was the best Christmas break that I have had in a long time....  I enjoyed seeing all of my family and friends, the weather was GORGEOUS and the food was fattening...  No clue when I will be back home! 

Since I started traveling in November for a conference and then was in Phoenix for Thanksgiving, I named my trips the Airplane tour.  I have been in 10 airports in 1 1/2 months...  DFW airport has been my favorite for a long time.  I have run in that airport on more than one occasion. IF I had to have a FAVORITE airport based on food it would be Memphis~!  I love Memphis' food because of Jim Neely's BBQ...
If I had to rate my favorite airport based on overall Best experience, it would have to be Minneapolis.  That was my first time in Minneapolis' airport and it impressed me!  It was like being at a mall. 

When I flew down home, the airline upgraded one of my flights!  I got bumped up to first class....  The elitism of first class is remarkable.  They took my coat, asked me if I wanted a pre-flight drink and allowed me to choose what I wanted for breakfast!  I should mention that they served breakfast on real china...  Thank you Delta Airlines.  I enjoyed the nice treatment but since everyone did not have an opportunity to eat breakfast and get a pre-flight drink... I started feeling bad.  I really like Southwest Airlines.  Everyone is treated the SAME!  Just my thoughts!  If you can't treat everyone the same, why have the opportunities for others to see other passengers getting better treatment.  Anywho!

I have not had time to rest since the beginning of December!  I did not get any rest while I was at home for the break and am really waiting on Friday to get here so that I can rest ALL WEEKEND! 

More about my visit home tomorrow....
Love you!
