This is the place you normally can't get into. It's amazing what Business Class will do!

Not Too Shabby


I'm sitting here in the Northwest airlines lounge at the airport, and it's nice to know how the other half lives! Part of the deal is that you get to fly Business Class and one of the perks in the use of the airport lounge. (Note to PDI'ers: Not to worry, the client pays for the airfare -- your gasoline dollars at work.)

There are comfortable chairs and tables, free liquor, chips and salsa, cheese and crackers, but I'm a sucker for the chocolate chip cookies. There appear to be around six employees doing stocking food and drinks, cleaning up, and people at terminals waiting to answer questions. It's like another world.

In about an hour and a half, I head to Amsterdam, which is 8 hours and 19 minutes away (give or take a few minutes).

On the not so nice side, it was hard to say goodbye to Linda for 3 1/2 weeks.

Two of life's little luxuries available in the lounge. What could be better?

Nothing says America like a chocolate chip cookie. I'm so glad you took a picture of the lounge, as I am sure never to see the inside of one! Ha ha.

Chocolate chip cookies - they must have known you were coming!
... and to think that us "coach" passangers have to pay $100 for a "snack pack" consisting of peanuts and pre-packaged cheese. Unfortunately, you still will not be running into Lindsay Lohan since she only travels first class. A quote from FoxNews.com from today: "The 22-year-old caused chaos while departing on a Delta Flight from Tampa, Fla. on Saturday morning when the airline was unable to provide her with a first-class seat on the already overbooked flight. According to an insider, passengers laughed as the starlet acted incredibly entitled (and embarrassed), stomped around and warned a friend traveling with her: "you'd better come and visit me back there in case I die." But fortunately for Linds, she didn't have to suffer the life-threatening ill of business or economy class as she was eventually moved into first following her entertaining tantrum."
