I believe I am flying Barney Airlines today. Everything is purple. The plane is purple, the seats, the carpet, the blankets, napkins, and they use real knives with meals, not plastic. As we are taxing down the runway ML says look at the golf course in between the two runways. HUH, that can’t be safe for the golfers or the planes. Sure enough, there’s the golf course packed with people, caddys and golf carts playing in between the two runways. This would never happen in the US. What if a plane crashed? What happens if a golfer’s ball hits and cracks a window on the plane? What if no one notices the ball cracked the window? What happens to cabin pressure when you’re at 33,000 feet? The flight attendants are wearing lovely outfits. I can’t call it a uniform, it’s more like a costume. They are slim fitting, right down to the floor with a tight sash cinching the waist. They shuffle down the aisle. Here I go again………these outfits cannot be safe in case of an emergency! They won’t be able to move fast. I can only assume they have a Wonder Woman outfit underneath and hopefully I will not have to find out. And another thing…….in the front of the cabin they have a movie screen pulled down. To get to the bathroom behind the screen you have to do a limbo under it. Little nutty things like this but we had to have the window shades UP when we took off….that is not safe! I will say I feel absolutely safe flying with this airline and everyone is very nice.

Usually after ten days or so I am itching to get home. I’m in my third week and can’t wait to see what’s next. ML has pulled out all the stops on this trip to make sure I have a blast. He’s a good man; I LOVE MY HUBBA BUBBA.
