Our Christmas travels started off with a wonderful experience on American Airlines...yes, I actually said that. We were set for a 10:30 am flight and they announced they were oversold. I love a good oversell opportunity! Usually I've got somewhere to be so it's not really an option, but this time the next flight was only 2 hours later (and our initial flight was delayed anyway so we waited even less than planned). Let the good times roll: we got 2 $300 vouchers; then we discovered our next flight had been upgraded to a 777, which is much bigger than usual (always a better option than some BS express plane or something); then we got to our new seats...right smack dab in business class. Which maybe wouldn't have mattered if it weren't for the giant plane, which meant these seats were AMAZING! Seat 11E had a smattering of awesome things about it - a fully adjustable seat that could recline all the way to be completely horizontal - a personal tv - a great selection of free movies and tv shows - personal remotes - and a coat hook (it's the little things!).
I'd like to add 11E to my list of "Things That Make Me Giggle," because the amount of joy I took from perfectly arranging my seat, Bloody Mary in hand, while watching Horrible Bosses next to Brian on my first day of vacation was pretty unreal. Thanks American!
Since arriving, we've enjoyed a chilly Texas Christmas, with lots of good food (QUESO!), holiday parties, QT with Keely & James, and a haircut for Brian (this was key for people not thinking he's a child molester). We'll have a big meal tomorrow and then Colorado here we come!
Hope you guys have a great holiday as well. Merry Christmas from all the animals!
