My next post will be from San Francisco, we’re are heading out in the morning…a mere few hours from now…to visit our very great friends. You may remember from an earlier post (Traveling and non-reving are not created equal) that Lucy and I tried and failed to get on a flight to SF earlier in the month. Well, my friends 40th birthday has passed but there is still reason to celebrate…always…so off we go with over 100 seats available on our flight! Amazing! What a difference a few weeks make: )

I also wanted to introduce Free Flying Mom (yes, she’s my mom) to all of you. She is going to be a contributor to The Flying Pinto. As you can imagine she has her own stories from the past 16 years to tell and yes, she does fly for free! So, if you get the chance check out her site, FREEFLYINGMOM.COM and let her know if you have any questions.She’ll be able to give you the “airline parents” perspective. Just in case you too decide to “give birth” to a Flight Attendant.” (ha, ha)
