Back From The UK!
 
Greetings All,

Arrived back safe and sound last night after a flight from Manchester - Chicago via American Airlines.

Plastic knives and forks are now the norm on board, but, be careful.....the plastic fork which I used to hold my pizza still whilst I cut it, melted. I explained my dilemma to waiter at the O'Hare Bar & Grill at Chicago and he replied;

"You should see people's faces when they order a $25+ steak and have to eat it using plastic!"

Otherwise, the trip was excellent. Met up with family and friends and had a great time.

Jim.

During late 99 and early 2000 I crossed the pond several times both ways, allways on a virgin plane, ususaly 'Dancing Queen or 'Tinkerbell' and got to recognise a few of the flight crew. In May 2000 I had 2 days of interviews in NYC and stayed a few nights at the 'New Yorker' hotel on 8th and 34th. One evening I wandered into the lift and heard "Mr Hasler ... what are you doing here ?"
The lift was full of VIrgin crew who recognised me :)

It's 55 coming over to the States and 54 going the other way. Yes, you still find grandmothers serving you - although on my four AA flights......the younger element is beginning to breakthrough.

Eureka, Illinois eh???? I get to visit the College once or twice per year bringing visiting sports teams down there.

Now that's what I call......."VIRGIN ON THE RIDICULOUS!"
