		<description>I&#039;m back! I can&#039;t believe my kids demanded my attention. Sheesh. (Please god please let you all know I am kidding!) Where was I... 

Mrs. Darcy (I am just going to call you Mrs. Darcy from now on because of the free association in my head whenever I see &quot;Falling&quot;...): Don&#039;t forget: tis only Biz class. First class probably does have a stripper pole! Or a hot tub filled with champagne. 

TKW: ;-)

Elly Lou: US airlines&#039; premium class products allegedly are not as good as those offered by non-US airlines. I heard a lot of good things about Virgin. So don&#039;t give up on them without checking it out! 

Holly, thanks for visiting. Your blog is MAD HOT! I love all the annotations you add to all the pictures and drawings. No stripper pole probably &#039;cause it&#039;s only Business Class. yes, I said &quot;Only&quot;... ;-)  Have been trying to figure out what First Class is like. Probably stripper pole. 

Mrs. B: what do you mean by &quot;LOVED&quot;? I need to cure you of the past tense with a Seinfeld Marathon session! Please do hold me when George is on. I can&#039;t stand that little man... 

Amanda, UGH. I forgot to ask for champagne! The restroom is the same as the one I showed in my earlier post. So what does that tell us? ;-)

Secret Agent Woman: I want to try International First Class!

Kaishon&#039;s mom: Thank you for stopping by. And thank you for letting me know about the shoutout that happened on Aunt Becky&#039;s awesome blog. I guess now I need to pay the person as promised... ;-)

Alison, yeah, I cannot really complain when compared to your flight all the way to Sydney. Yikes. Anybody that wants to know about flying long distance with kids should read the &lt;a href=&quot;http://creative.spayce.com/holiday/leaving-on-a-jet-plane-hope-the-food-is-better-than-last-time.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; of yours. Was it Qantas? That sounded so much better than what I have experienced. United flights to Asia do NOT have any seatback entertainment in the main cabin. Nothing. I was SO happy when my oldest was old enough to play on a Game Boy. Yeah, fried his brains. But he was a-ok the entire flight. LOL.</description>

		<description>NOT multiple orgasms? DAMN! You know, they can send a man to the moon, they cannot send a woman to see the stars?! Seriously. ;-)</description>

		<description>My lovely ladies, sorry for lagging behind. I also had a DOH/DUH moment just now: If I respond to each comment separately, that means, if you subscribe to comments via email, you will get a dozen emails from me. So even though I am tempted to pad my comment volume the way I add tissues to my bras, I will spare you and consolidate my responses/gratitude into one comment. It is going to be long. But I think I am allowed to be a Comment Hog on my own blog. He he. 

Ambrosia: That was in Business Class. I know. I am still wondering what the First Class is like on a transpacific flight. Flying in first class back home (all the way and not just 2 hours!) is one of my life goals. Perhaps I should start buying lottery...

Kenzie, first of all, LOVE your name! (Go thank your parents. LOL) Thanks for visiting I&#039;m honored you aspiring writer you. 

Andrea, since you teach at a high school, I have a feeling that you encounter WTF moments on a daily basis. LOL. ;-)

Jane, thank you for loving the picture of me lying down. That was a stroke of genius on my part and I humiliated myself for you all. Glad you appreciate it. ;-)

Shelli, sorry you got the sucky seats! Just say to yourself: at least I am not stuck with crying babies. At least I am not stuck with crying babies... LOL. I tried Zombieland, Paper Heart, Slumdog. The woman next seat was probably mad at Zombieland since she could see my screen and that movie was graphic! LOL

Laura, yup. It&#039;s great when it happens. That&#039;s why I wrote a post to commemorate the occasion. Ha!</description>

		<description>Magda, let&#039;s have a Seinfeld marathon! My Americanization was largely through watching Seinfeld. When I understood every single pop culture reference, I was pretty sure that I would be ok in this country. ;-)  (This should be another post..) I use the word &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Coda&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Coda&lt;/a&gt; because I am an insufferable pretentious person... and also because I am too lazy to write a nicely concluded story. Adding a coda at the end just seems to be easier...

NaBloPoMo: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nablopomo.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;National Blog Posting Month&lt;/a&gt;. It used to be every November, but now they are trying to get people to do this every month. I call it NaBloMoFo sometimes just because I hated it when I was doing it last November. And of course, my husb tried to convince me that there is a NaBloJoMo... ;-)

p.s. You are the loveliest fucktard there is. Now that you have hijacked the term Fucktard to mean Hilarious Lovable Lady I need to find a different term to call the Fox cable people. Any suggestions?</description>

		<description>wow, 2 very short hours! Who has ever wished a flight would last longer!

We were once upgraded to business class when coming home from Sydney to London while travelling with a 14 month old. It wasn&#039;t lie down seats, but the arm rest between his seat and mine was worth it. It was the perfect size for a baby to sit on, rather than being on our laps the entire flight. I am still waiting for karma to catch up with us for that one, although it could be that it was merely balancing out how gruesomely AWFUL the flight over had been!

But last christmas I again flew from London to Sydney with my two girls in cattle class. It was painful to say the least, but that was just the seat. The entertainment is actually excellent, plus the seats have usb connectors for iphones and ipods. (And other non &quot;i&quot; things that take usb I guess.)

Plus, if you&#039;re in the back section of the plane, just walk to the very back and you&#039;ll find help yourself flapjacks, cookies, fruit and coke. So I did. A lot.
