I’m on the plane typing this on my iPhone. Don’t worry, airplane mode is on… Not that it matters. I just did some quick travel math, and by the time I’m back in DC… over the last 6 months I’ll have flown over 25,000 miles (estimated ground miles, not sure what that computes to air miles). I’m on a direct flight from DC to Seattle and it’s supposed to take 5.5 hours. I’m about 3.5 hours into it, and my battery just got extremely low on my air after watching a few episodes of NCIS.

I’m pretty sure I got all of my travel stuff sorted out, which means tomorrow I will be flying to Hawaii (another 5 hour flight) for 8 days! For work! I’m started to get tired of living out of suitcases, but I can’t really complain about Hawaii. I’ve never been there before. My Uncle Paul may even be in Hawaii at the same time, which would be nice because I haven’t seen any of my extended family in a year and a half at my cousin Mike’s wedding (Paul’s son).

I flew into DC Christmas morning (took a red-eye), metroed to my apartment and then drove the 1.5 hours to make it to my parents just in time for Christmas lunch. Stuck around SoMD until Sunday and then went back to my apartment until today.

For New Years Eve a big group of us went to this fancy, dress-up, gala in Dupont circle (DC) where we all mostly stood in line to get drinks all night.

$110 for a ticket (open bar/free food) + long lines to the understaffed bars – new years eve countdown because the amp blew just before it = NYE FAIL

Too bad this plane doesn’t have outlets for computers. I am in an exit row though, which is awesome because of the legroom. The sky below me (weird right?) is overcast, so all I see is clouds below and blue skies above.

That’s all I’ve got at the moment… Cheers,

P.S. Landed
