usually i travel regularly...once a month, sometimes more. it's been two months and goodness i forgot about traveling coach. i know, i am brat. but who wouldn't rather be up in business? luckily, i am on the small side and collapsible. my trick is to put my tray table down and pile all of my soft belongings on it and lay on that. i have been awakened by nervous flight attendants fearing that they have lost a passenger. is it the most comfortable position in the world? nope. but i slept for 2 full hours this trip. the flight seemed like an eternity!
arriving is always hilarious too. when we all travel on the same flight and with jlo we have a million bags. i think the count was 13 this time. we have it down for the most part. j heads to get the rental car, jlo and i get the carts, a, jlo and myself then load up those carts. the wardrobe bags are no joke! those things are heavy. i think people get a kick out of watching us pull them off of the carousel. there are jokes made about not packing light...i am mostly immune to it now. sometimes we encounter a kind heart to help us out.
we almost didn't have enough room in the car this time. luckily j and a are master packers and somehow all of the bags fit like bricks (kind of.) j had nice form hurling the bags into the back of the car. it was a sight...
the past couple of times i have been in sf we have stayed at the clift. we were there in the fall and they didn't have internet for several days. that kind of kills the business aspect of any hotel.
this trip we are in hotel vitale. it smells like lavender when you enter. the room is clean and new. they have down pillows and a duvet (a must for me), an ipod dock, which is becoming standard in most hotels, they even have gluten free gummy bears! so far, so good. we shall see...and here is the view from my room. not shabby. it sure beats the parking lot full of vans across from my apartment!
off to a mexican feast!
