Sabbatical Day 9

June 28, 2004--Day 09
Fun things while flying on British Airways:
1) The way the pilot says 'schedule'
2) Not being able to understand the flight attendant
3) The flight attendant dropping my seatmate's lasagne on me
4) My seatmate not being able to understand the flight attendant when she asks if she'd like worcester sauce in her tomato juice
5) Free socks, eye mask thing, toothbrush/paste
6) Two meals & worcester sauce-flavored pretzels
7) Tiny cans of British Diet Coke
8) Another meal on my flight to Athens
9) People puking on each flight
10) Testing my SkyRest inflatable pillow

The flight to London was long, but the in-flight entertainment helped. There were sitcom reruns, music, several movies, including "Tarzan" and "Along Came Polly." My seatmates slept most of the trip; I did not. My brief stop in London was fun--it's like being in Bizarro United States. Big Brother (the reality show) is popular there. It was difficult to sleep on the flight to Athens, but I arrived safely. Made it to the hotel fine, and they were able to give me a room to spend the early morning in.
