I want to be a part of it… It was a great first day on the trip. After i made my way done to baggage claims, it became painfully clear that aa had screwed up the luggage. There were some 30 people without bags and some of them were starting to get upset. Not i… been there, lost the bags (even for good sometimes), so i was not upset at all. Read more...

Here i am hurtling at a respectably insane speed of 950kmh in a bright shiny silver tube with wings. I am a bullet. My target is john kennedy.
