OSAMA BIN LADEN
I never want to post anything negative or turn this blog ugly. However, I feel I should mention the fact that Osama bin Laden was killed May 1st, 2011. Unfortunately he affected so many people and my job as I know it today.

JFK-LAX
WHY ON THIS FLIGHT: Some business, some golf, some baseball.
FUN FACT: Gained access to a plane and sat in the cockpit of an oversold flight between Paris and Stockholm by telling the agent I was a pilot.....I am not (pre 9-11)
BUCKET LIST: Climb all 46 peaks in the Adirondack Mountains over 4,000 in height. I am at 21 now.
GUILTY PLEASURE: My three vices: Ice cream, cigars and beer.I won't ever have all 3 in a single day, but it's the rare day I won't have at least one of them.
PENNI'S TWO CENTS: What an amazing once in a life time situation to be able to sit in the cockpit. It is one of the best views ever. I have seen the Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls many times and I am still in awe like it was the first time. I have seen fireworks going off in 20 different locations simultaneously, meteor showers, comets and the most gorgeous sunrises and sunsets on both coasts. I am so blessed with a breathtaking "office window". No, I never tire of the excitement of taking off, landing, and the views along the way of each and every flight.

Welcome aboard!
My 19+years of flying have opened up a world of opportunities for me...literally. I have climbed Machu Pichu, met an astronaut, received free water delivery for a year, gone to private concerts of well known musicians, eaten my way across the country, saved a life or two, all in a blue polyester suit. I can visit a city for less than 12 hours and be able to tell a great little hidden gem to visit or a unique delicious place to eat. Everything from the Dr. Pepper museum in Waco, a taco trailer in Tulsa, the best ribs in Saint Louis and more. I have been to flea markets, craft fairs and estate sales...nation wide. I have been to my share of food fairs, earth day celebrations, Thanksgiving Day Parades and local celebrations, however obscure they may be. I have been able to swim & layout at beaches around the world.
I love my life and my job and can't really imagine not having these experiences. However, it isn't always fun & games. We lost 2 planes on 9/11 and have lost other crew members in other accidents & incidents. My job has such a large work group, up to 21,000 during the peak of the airlines in 2001, that we all suffer through many loses. I have lost airline friends due to cancer, suicide and life in general. This blog is about the passengers (pax) and their stories, but it is dedicated to those who lost their lives doing what they loved to do. I will always remember 9/11 and the sacrifices of the Flight Attendants and Pilots, that died that day.
