It is a headache to get to the airport from my house. When I fly, I give myself plenty of time to get there and go through security.  I had much rather wait at the airport than be stressed out in traffic. On this day, when I left home, it was raining which made things worse. However, before departure time, it cleared up and the sun was shining when we took off. I flew on one of the newer planes, AIRBUS A319.  It had the smaller seats and only seated eight in first class. Seats in coach(where I sat) are three on each side. It was a nice flight, but upon arrival, pouring down rain and rained all that day. However, the rest of my stay, the sun came through bright and clear.

This was the plane I flew on.

This is what you see when you are seated.  Stewardess rarely talk, all done through this monitor.  Even the announcements from the caption.

The return flight was not as pleasant as the going.  The plane was delayed for over an hour for mechanical problems. I had scheduled the return flight where I would get back home before dark.  As a result of this delay, the time changing, it was dark, so much road construction and raining at DFW, I was very stressed. I cannot see very well at night to drive and very seldom do so. The lights blind me and with the construction, you do not know where to go or get off the freeway.   Needless to day, I enjoyed the trip, but there is no place like home.
