What year is this?

So I am firmly on the ground, this week, but traveling to my fav state, NJ (can I get a fist pump?), staying at my least favorite hotel. The Marriott in Teaneck. Why is this my least favorite hotel you might wonder? I mean, its a Marriott, I am a rewards member, the beds are comfy, the rooms are nice, its not at all sketch like the other hotel near the Unilever office (The Clinton Inn).

The issue: no wireless in the rooms! AND to make matters worse, you have to PAY for wired internet! ummm last I checked, this is 2010. And this is pretty much a business hotel (last I checked there are no hot spots in Teaneck NJ). Seriously for $12.95, I would really prefer to have wireless and be sitting in my comfy bed instead of this uncomfortable desk chair.

But don't worry, I will continue to stay here, 3 nights in June coming up! and I wouldn't be surprised if you see another post about this topic around then :)

Is this what private jetting is like?

So here I am en flight (obvi this is was saved to my drafts in outlook for circa 2 weeks and forgot to post this when I was able to get an internet connection which was my original intention) to Arkansas. With the exception of bad rain and a shaky takeoff from LGA, this flight is pure bliss.

Why you ask? Because there are exactly 11 people on my flight. There is no one seated next to me, across the aisle from me, in the row in front of me, in the 6 rows behind me. pure privacy. The only thing that could be better would be if this were a private plane. Well that and if I could drink soda (gave it up for Lent) because the flight attendant is clearly bored and has asked me 3 times if I would like a drink.

It’s a safe bet to say AA is totally losing money on this flight!

PS- on my return flight, there were only 10 people on the flight! and I walked right up to the security line (no waiting!) at XNA, apparently Friday mornings are the best (read: least crowded) time to depart. good to know, you know since I need to book my trip for May.
