Number 1 on my bucket list is to go on an African Safari. This would be the exploring kind, not the hunting kind. Not that I'm against responsible hunting- it's just not my thing.

Today was my annual recurrent training- a day where I am required to sit in a classroom for eight hours to recertify as a flight attendant. Although this day is more relaxed than initial training had been sixteen years ago, I still find it rather stressful. I know this is mostly head games, though. Most... Continue Reading →
I guess it's time to give you an update. I am happy, excited, and nervous that starting next month, I will be taking up to a year off (the extended time off that I mentioned in my last post). This time off will free me up so that I can help a friend out who... Continue Reading →
It is a crazy time to be employed by an airline! Thanks to COVID-19, many major U.S. airlines are getting ready to furlough or even fire their employees.
