on the fly

i love to travel. i really love to fly. i will road trip if i must, but flight is by far my preference. thus, working for an airline is right up my alley. and though i would prefer to just be filthy stinking rich and pay for air tickets any time to anywhere, that just isn't my life. not yet anyway. so, for now, my life requires that i work and i choose to make the most of it and work for an airline.

i love a couple of things about my trips. the first and foremost - i love to be able to go everywhere. i love being able to share my deep and intense love of travel and people with my children. i love that they are getting to know about my favorite places first hand. i love that being poor doesn't feel quite so bad. i love to explore new places and get away from reality, even if it is only for a minute or two.

i love being able to stay connected in person with people that i would otherwise not be able to see. so even though it's not ideal, it is wonderful for what it is. isn't that mostly the way with life? if you can't live the life you'd love, love the life you're in (and yes, i know that's not technically the way that saying goes, but it works for me).
