Don't even get me started about the bathroom floors!! Nothing worse than having on an expensive business suit on your way to an important meeting and you have to figure out how to pull the pant legs up so they don't touch the floor while you try not to sit on the seat that you draped with 30 sheets of teepee....that is the worst!! Lisa, remind me to tell you about the time we were stranded on the tarmac in Honululu for 11 hrs when you were six and Brandon was 15 months old....Murder was almost committed against a NW Airline stewardess (they were called that back then) that refused to let Brandon get down and walk in the aisles or heat a bottle for him ..."we must all remain seated while on the tarmac" she said over and over......I almost had her sitting on the tarmac and not by choice...Midway through the 11 hrs they deplaned us (this was a 747) to eat dinner in a restaurant that held 50 people.....another 2 hours in line to get us all through and then back on the bus to another plane and then home to Seattle......Mom This is hysterical!!!

And in all of those lives, I have no doubt that people never called her Liz, always Lisa. Mike– I think it’s safe to say that Liz and I have known each other in many, many lives.

Only ONE man on Earth can pull them off-- Mr Justin Timberlake! (I saw him wearing a pair in Vegas!) Matt doesn't recline bc that happens to him all the time! So now, as much as I really, really want to, I don't recline. In support of tall men everywhere! My head is still spinning-- a red eye WITH a layover plus 3 kids?!?! You're ambitious and admirable and a little bit o' crazy girlfriend!! Good luck :) Xoxo Sarah- a “jort” is the long (knee length) jean short worn by a man.

And your travel wars are hysterical. I'm terrified because my husband and I are taking our three young kids from D.C. to Seattle at the end of the month, then on a cruise to Alaska, followed by A REDEYE home with a stopover. AGain, three young children. One of whom is six months olds. Anyone have extra xanax? My husband -- who is six foot three -- was on a flight recently and the guy ahead of him leaned his seat ALL the way back so his head was practically in my husband's lap. So when the guy went to the bathroom, my husband snuck forward and secretly moved up the guy's seat... then he noticed the guy's wife giving him the stink-eye!! Wait — am I the only one who doesn’t know what a jort is?

These observations were hilarious and the pre-travel steps for success are very similar our's. I usually am oblivious to the people that you have written about but thanks to you, I will not be able to help but label every traveler on the plane. That was some good stuff. Keep them coming.

Angry Guy probably was pissed he couldn't get him some Prada or maybe he was more of a Shopaholic dude? In any event, it was good! It got a bunch of bad reviews but I loved it. I'm sure it's not a big surprise that I am a big fan of the romantic comedy! Carrie–I was actually waiting for someone to comment on Bride Wars!!
