Quick Call!

I have less than an hour to get ready, for Tel Aviv! Looking at the crew list, some of them have 2 zero's before their employee numbers! (It's a very senior trip). I hope I am awake enough for this trip. I got back from a week in Germany to visit my sister (of which i hope to tell about soon) the day before yesterday. Yesterday I was assigned airport alert at 11am (too early for us international flight attendants) and they assigned me a domestic base pairing--an Aruba turn. As soon as I rushed to the plane and got on board the rain started. Not just regular rain, the plane was rocking back and forth at the gate as the flash floods and wind poured over us. Somehow that big metal bullet feels more like a toothpick in that moment. Of course we were delayed, 2 and half hours to be exact. And I got back from that turn after midnight. So here I am, still tired and half planning to go to the Jersey shore and I get a quick call to Tel Aviv. Okay, gotta go hop in the shower, no time to spare. ;)

These are the tales of some real travels and some that can't really be considered real. The ones that can't really be considered real are the layovers I've had working as a flight attendant. I know that I've been to those places and have had experiences there, but it almost feels more like dream sequences than real life. I've been interested in 'the world out there' since I was a small child. My mother made me realize that 'different' was interesting and everything 'foreign' has intrigued me ever since. At the age of 14 I had my first experience as a world traveler when I went to Osaka, Japan for 2 months to be a nanny. My travels this past year have been much different than that, but every travel, no matter how short, opens your eyes to the world...Here are my stories...
