A day off in DC!

(Peephole view from when we landed in Burlington, VT. -  You can't tell but it was a beautiful view)

I have had a total of 7 days off so far. The first 3 I spent in Annapolis, MD at my brother's house. My mom was there and it was nice to just hang out and do everyday things, like errands and watch tv. It's a busy household.  The other two days off I sprinted to Seattle and back. Because of the time consuming nature of the commute I was in town for less than 24 hours but it was great to be back and sleep in my own bed. 

Now I have 2 days off and I couldn't decide if I wanted to try and go anywhere so I am resting it up in DC.  First on the Agenda is breakfast at local bakery, blog update and then maybe a trip to one of the Smithsonians - or Alexandria. It feels so luxurious to have 2 whole days to fill at my discretion - AND to NOT sit around in an airport.

Not sure how I'm going to like this job. I get motion sick in turbulence and I hate sitting around in airports. I haven't been to a grocery store for over a month and airport food is dang expensive. 

Otherwise, it's alright. It's really the people/crew that you work with on trips that make or break the experience. And if I thought that ground school had it's drama . . . !  On my  last 4 day trip, one of the first things the other flight attendant said to me was, "Here's a piece of advice - don't sleep with pilots." I told her she had nothing to worry about and then soon found out that she was talking about herself (As was most of her conversation) and our current captain. Yes, I imagine their drama to be something that most people grow out of in high school - not sure -  but it was ridiculous. - and I was with them for four days.

Alright, I'm rambling. I'm kind of in a daze. I constantly have the physical feeling that I'm still on a plane and I get a little dizzy when I bend over. I hear that this feeling is normal for people who fist start flying a lot and that it will go away (along with the motion sickness). I hope so - it's really weird.

If anybody wants to be a flight attendant, let me know. I think we're still hiring and I'll put a good word in for you. 

And it's so glamorous.
