I\u2019m here! I was really dreading the flight over, but it turned out to be one of the best flights I\u2019ve had. <\/span>I lucked out and was in economy plus, instead of normal economy\/coach, and that made a huge difference. <\/span>Plus, no one sat next to me on either flight so I was able to stretch out a little. Not having to share the armrest is fantastic! <\/span><\/p>\n

Each seat had individual TV screens built in to the back of the seat in front of it. <\/span>I don\u2019t normally watch movies on the plane, I like to read and watch the map that shows the flight\u2019s progress. <\/span>However they were showing three movies I wanted to see (\u201cDefinitely, Maybe\u201d, \u201cThe Other Boleyn Girl\u201d, and \u201cHorton Hears a Who\u201d for those that are interested) and since the seat next to me was empty I could use that TV for my map. <\/span>The movies were on demand too, which means I was able to decide when I wanted to watch them and in what order. <\/span>I could also pause, rewind, and fast forward (do I sound like a commercial?). <\/span>I was definitely not roughing it by any means. <\/span>Oh, and something else cool about the map display \u2013 they had an option to view one of two cameras on the plane. <\/span>So we could see the pilots\u2019 view or the view down, of what we were flying over \u2013 pretty cool. <\/span>I\u2019m keeping my fingers cross that the flight home is half as good, especially since it\u2019s almost 3 hours longer.<\/p>\n

It was about a 45 minute drive from the airport to the hotel, and the hotel is really nice. <\/span>The elevators had me totally confused though. <\/span>I got in to the elevator, pressed the button for my floor, and waited. <\/span>The doors closed, but nothing happened. <\/span>So I opened the door crossed the lobby and tried a different elevator. <\/span>The door closed, I pressed the button for my floor, and again nothing happened. <\/span> <\/span>At this point I gave up and asked the bellboy how to work the elevator. <\/span>It turns out you have to insert your room key in to a slot in the elevator in order to make it work. <\/span><\/p>\n

I just took a picture of the instructions for using the elevator that were on the desk in my room. Not that they helped because using them would have meant I got to the room prior to the incident, and I certainly wasn’t about to walk up 15 flights of stairs. Anyway, when trying to post them I realized I don’t have the software I need to remove the photos from my camera. I’m in the process of trying to find it online now. For your sakes I hope I do, or else this is going to be a pretty boring, photoless trip, and the photos were the whole reason for setting this up after all. Grrr.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
