Observations from a day of traveling:

Some people just need someone to talk to. The man next to me on my second flight started a conversation by telling me that he'd never been apart from his wife for more than a night since they got married. Later in the conversation he tried to convert me to Christianity.

Southwest Airlines is not quite as perfect as I thought: The free peanut packet? It only had four peanuts in it. Four. That's, like, peanuts! In general their whole snack system is toootally quantity over quality.

Looking classy while traveling is harder than it looks. Amanda's blistery feet and my inexplicable black-ish leggings are testament to that. Hats off to you, ladies in high heels and men in suits. I can't say I remember the time when people dressed up to fly, but I am nostalgic for it.

And last but not least, you can see half dome from the airplane (at least according to my evangelist). Amanda and I will be attempting the ascent on Thursday! More on that later...for now, check out this photo:
