WELL IM HOME!!!!

Sadly I'm already home got home about 10:30 last night. All I can think about is the airlines its like having a cookie you have one and you tell yourself ah I wont have another but then you just keep wanting more. For some reason I want the whole jar .... If you get what I'm talking about. Ya well the flight over to Detroit from Columbus on the way there was pretty good a quicky about 40 minutes on a CRJ200. Then from Detroit to Portland was a fun one also was a pretty brisk flight. We flew on a CRJ900 that time. Those CRJ900"s are beautiful I can only imagine the 1000's.
Yep so anyway after we got done with the flight I visited the cockpit the captain was out doing a walk around while i was looking so I didn't get to talk to him the FO was there but he wasn't to friendly. But that was the first time Ive ever seen an actual cockpit up close. So then we spent the weekend at my Uncles house in Kennebunk, Maine. Had fun spending time with my little little cousin. And my uncle is as funny as always went to his improv comedy show on Saturday. Then Sunday rolls around. we get ready to depart to the airport. Hugs and Kisses go around and were off. A little 30 minute gaunt drive to the airport and we literally are in the terminal waiting at the gate right when we enter the airport..... (its that small).
Finally the boarding starts we get on and of course i have a window seat! Like always my eyes are glued outside. We takeoff in the CRJ900 and about an hour and a half or so we are on the ground at Detroit. De board take the long walk from end to end to the next gate. Waite for the the DC-9 to get prepped. I was excited cause i think DC-9's are so freaking cool ha. So we board and there was like no one on the flight so I scootched over to the window. Windows Seat Again o so lucky ha. Then on the quick 30 minute trip from Detroit to Columbus we see if it was possible to check that cockpit out. They were so happy I asked and said that would be awesome. So Then at the end of the trip i waited to be one of the last off the plane. And got to talk to the Captain and FO. Real nice guys and gave me some great advice and encouragement on the tough road ahead of me. So that was my experience of the weekend I'm flying on United in June cant Waite....... PICTURES OF THE TRIP COMING SOON.

Thanks and Until Next Time,
Ian
