Title: Headed to Dallas . . .
Post by: iMav on Mon, 17 January 2011, 05:35:28
. . . for McAfee's 2011 sales kickoff.

Getting up at 4am to catch a 6:30am flight is not my idea of fun.  (Actually, it doesn't matter when the flight is...I just hate flying.)

Dallas will be a blast.  I wish I were heading up there to hollah at you, but I won't be going up there until February some time.

Oh, you'd hate to be me then.  I absolutely love flying.  Nothing better than getting up at 4AM to catch the first flight of the day and a whiff of jet engine exhaust to really wake you up.  I've got about 60,000 miles worth of flying scheduled over the next month.  I once did over 100,000 miles in a single month (that's over 3,000 miles per day), and even at that rate I didn't tire of it.  Although being super duper premier executive whatever helps as does having several million miles to buy upgrades as necessary.

I love flying too. Taking off on a 757, rotating at 20 degrees, and flying above your home city being pressed hard against your seat by all that acceleration is totally my idea of fun. Too bad I don't fly much.

Sam's a masochist.  The only flights I seem to do are international 10+ hours in economy seating; so naturally I've come to hate it.

Pick up a stewardess ;)
