The Wonder of the Wild Blue Yonder

Because of my perceived need for the freedom to pop up whenever I want, I'm a confirmed aisle-seat guy. But yesterday I was at the bulkhead window for my short hop from Boston to D.C. As we rolled down the runway, my nose was literally pressed to the window. I was amused to realize—after about 6,000 flights and 6,000,000 air miles—that I'm still taken by the whole amazing fact of flight!

(I guess that's a good thing, since Siberia, Pakistan, and Mauritius are among the near-term stops that appear on my calendar.)

Tom,

Any plans of visiting India? If yes, when and which cities? I believe there would be an awesome lot of people wanting to hear u speak. If you want me to suggest places...it would be...

1) Bangalore - India's silicon valley
2) Chennai - India's Detroit cum silicon valley
3) Hyderabad - India's silicon valley
4) Mumbai - India's NYC (Financial capital)
5) Delhi - India's D.C (Administratvive capital)

Lastly, you could take time-off to visit the lovely & abundant backwaters of "Kerala" (southern state a.k.a God's own country!) and maybe have an ayurvedic massage!

Heh. Most airlines want you to forget that you are flying at all. It's about best service or cheepest price. It's never about the adventure and amazement of flying.

Think about that.
