Drunks on a Plane

Just back from a week at the Sea Ranch, California - a lovely and much-needed escape.

There are a number of points where I tell myself “NOW I feel like I’m on vacation.” The first is the ride to the airport, but that’s not really it. The second is after running the security gauntlet, repacking, dressing and finding my gate, but that’s not really it. The third is treating myself to an extra-dark mocha from Dilettante (a latte from Starbucks will do). Closer, but still not really it. Getting on the plane? Wheels off the ground?

We flew down from Seattle to Santa Rosa on a small turbo-prop plane run by Horizon Air. A friend commented to me once that a boarding pass is an interesting device. One moment it’s the single most important piece of paper in the world and in an instant it’s useless. I assert it’s not entirely useless. Boarding passes make the best bookmarks.

One nice surprise from Horizon: Free local wine and microbrew beer in coach. They give refills too.

NOW I’m on vacation.
