30,000 feet plus 8

Hi again. It's flight numero dos for the day. This one is a bit longer at 4 hours. Unfortunately, my layover wasn't long enough to fully recharge the laptop batteries so I'm only going to have power for 1/3 of the flight. Dang it. I also forgot to stop and buy a book or a new magazine. Double dang it. Ninety minutes in to the flight and I've already napped for the first 45 and read the airline's publication from stem to stern. After this blog entry, and with battery life down to 49%, I'm not sure what I'll do. Sigh.

But let's get to the good stuff, shall we? My final destination is ... can you guess? Maryland to Milwaukee and then a 4 hour flight somewhere else. Any guesses? Anyone? Buehler? 

Here's a clue: it starts with an S and ends with rancisco. And why anyone, much less me, would go through Milwaukee to go from east to west is beyond me. Oh wait. I remember. Milwaukee sounded easier than Atlanta, less risky than Denver, much less congested than Chicago, and there was a great chance of an upgrade to first class. Right! That's why I booked this particular flight.

That and in Wisconsin there's always the possibility of cheese. :-) 

From Maryland to San Francisco -- you figured that out, right? -- by way of Milwaukee, in first class all the way -- hooray! ... um ... I just lost my train plane of thought. Oh well. We're only at 41% battery life now so let's just say that the trip to San Fran is for work stuff and am looking forward to being there, seeing the city, and catching up with colleagues. Should be fun. Let me know if you have any suggestions for things to do. (Besides plugging in the laptop!)

Over -n- out from 38,000 feet.
