Hello from 35,000 Feet

14 replies
So I'm on about a 5 hour flight in a somewhat cramped seat and bored, so I thought I would pop in and say hello from above. Surely I am flying over some of you now. Just passed over Memphis, TN, and heading to San Francisco. Hello from 35,000 ft

    It's great isn't it that some flights now include Internet service ... and some are free.

    I remember the first time I brought my lap top on vacation with me and was able to stay connected. I remember when our hotel went wireless and I was able to connect to the internet out poolside looking out at the ocean.

    Now Internet on airplanes. The world is just getting smaller all the time.

    Thanks, it looks like I have about 3 hours and 45 minutes left. I am trying to stay busy doing work, and surfing. Fortunately the two things sort of go together in my business. I've never surfed poolside, but that is partially because I am really white.

        I'm on Delta in a medium sized plane.
        3 rows on each side. Just one central aisle.
        We prefer the bigger planes, but this is what was available.

          I wish I were on a plane going somewhere. My time is spent at my kids sporting events. We'll have to plan a nice getaway for the summer.

          Have a great time!

            Well, surfing the internet in a plane is definitely a whole lot cooler than surfing the internet in a chair.

        Shannon,

        You can usually tell which planes have internet
        on them because of the really long blue network
        cable that drags behind them.

        Take Care,

        Michael Silvester

    Passing over Walmart headquarters about now.
    I don't think I have ever set foot in Arkansas. I've heard there are nice parts though.

    They haven't started serving dinner yet because of the turbulence. Pretty bumpy so far, but tolerable; like riding on a dirt road.

    I have on some noise cancelling head phones and my wife is next to me watching a movie.
