The trip started from DIA at about 5 pm. Security was a bit long and Cindy got the special wand treatment but we were soon in the airport and on our way to our gate. Being it is an overnight and it’s close to dinner we find a nice spot and have a bite to eat. All full up we proceed to our gate and soon it is time to board British Airways flight to London.
I get settled in to my seat, find the headphones, get my pillow out and we are in the air. Just as I’m thinking a nice movie and then bed here comes the refreshment tray. ” would you like a glass of wine with dinner?” What? We are in coach and it is pretty cramped and besides we got a long flight and sleep sounds good but sure I’ll take a glass of wine. He gives me a bottle of white that was at least two glasses and soon the meal is arriving! I pass but he insists I might like to at least look it over. The cheesecake was pretty good, not as good as mine but on an airplane with barely enough room to lower my tray I’d say it was quite enjoyable. He also gives me another bottle of wine! That one goes into my bag for later.
Finally everyone is fed and then the guy across the aisle from me pukes! His wife and her friend didn’t seem too but he was an old guy. The attendants were quick to whisk the guy in front of him to another seat and took the guy to the restroom to wash up! Great! I may not get any sleep on this plane. Next time may be first class!
Finally about 10:30 I finish up my movie and close my eyes. I slept pretty well and then the lights are on, I check my clock. It’s 2:30 am and they are serving breakfast and coffee! And then it’s time to raise your seat to its upright position and stow your electronics, we will be landing shortly. Oh yes, we are almost to London and it is actually 11 am! Tell my body that because it still thinks it is 4 am.
Stay tuned…
