So after getting called away from the coffee shop, they had me for 5 days–tacking on flights and overnights like I was the only flight attendant in existence. In all I overnighted in Des Moines, Iowa; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Greensville, South Carolina and finally Melbourne, Florida. Here are some pictures Read more…

Overnights are a highlight of the job. Sometimes they last only for a good night’s sleep, others last a couple hours short of an entire day. Even quick overnights offer at least some good natural light from the large hotel windows to take selfies. Others offer at least the palm Read more…

The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia might be one of the best museums I’ve ever been to. I mean, they have the Space Shuttle “Discovery” INSIDE the hangar, as well as 3,000 other artifacts–HUGE & small. My Dad would know the names of all these planes. Wish he Read more…

With more work means more places to stayover. To follow: Norfolk, VA; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; and Stamford, CT and sites and eats. It is a joy to be able to combine my love of “going places” and “eating places” with my job. But it has me spending a lot Read more…

The summer is moving fast as I traverse about the country. Thai food at some place I don’t recall… It was pretty darn good. But this was the star attraction… the mango and sticky rice with gold leaf garnish. It was absolutely perfect. Mornings at the airport mean I catch Read more…

The lifestyle of a Flight Attendant is pretty unique. The majority of the month is spent traversing through the country, staying somewhere new each work day. It is exhausting but exciting… You join a team, a flight crew, for the duration of the trip. Then you say goodbye a meet Read more…

I am always excite to fly to Florida–for palm trees and proximity to the beach. But here in Tallahassee, the beach would not be an option. But there was plenty to fill my time during my stay. Colorful murals all about. I love when the hotel is actually close to Read more…

A lot of my time is spent at the airport… I sit about the terminals, ready to board any flight that needs me. But sometimes I am not needed. And so I find different corners to photograph, different vegan eats to try. It has not gotten old yet, though some Read more…

I knew as soon as I was awarded a base at DCA, Ronald Reagan International Airport, I would track down all the vegan eats within its Gates. I would spend many hours, days really, sitting reserve within its halls and, at times, new meal prospects were the only thing that Read more…

Some overnights are more exciting than others. But that aligns with the need for rest and decompression! So I did not leave my hotel room during this overnight in Providence, Rhode Island. I ordered Thai to make up for the Thai I attempted back in DC the evening before when Read more…

As I adjust to my erratic schedule as a reserve flight attendant, some sites and eats close enough to the airport to explore. Being “on reserve” is the dues a new FA has to pay: several months, possibly more, of being on-call… 14 blocks of time, 5 days a week. Read more…

And I am done! Finally! Some last shots of my time in Charlotte before I pack up and head back to Rochester. I checked out Mike’s Vegan Grill because I was craving a veggie burger… This is the Carolina Burger: A Hawaiian bun, homemade chili, vegan American cheese, coleslaw, diced Read more…

Facetiming with my favorite face Some exploration around these parts I tried to night shoot but I’d have to drive a lot farther–too much light pollution Laundry & studying I throw everything in my salads. Care package was a big highlight Special offerings to make my time here better Decorating Read more…

I have embarked upon the first of four weeks of living in a hotel during Flight Attendant training! Having no means of cooking anything would be an eating challenge I was determined to not solve by eating take out everyday, though Charlotte, North Carolina has many vegan options around. To Read more…
