MISS YOU CHICAGO!



I discovered this print on Etsy and smiled as I reminisced about fun times spent in the windy city.  I lived in Chicago years ago when I first became a Flight Attendant.  I did the whole crash pad thing and quickly decided 11 Flight Attendants in one hotel room was too many and living near the airport wasn't a good way to experience Chicago!  I lasted there for 2 months then found a one bedroom condo with 5 other flight attendants downtown near the Navy Pier.  I know still sounds like a lot but thankfully we were never there at the same time.  Chicago is such a friendly town and this is such a beautiful time of the year... I miss you CHICAGO!

The Real RV...

1967 Winnebago from the RV Hall of Fame Museum in Elkhart, Indiana.

We've all seen them... RV's surrounded by cars in the employee parking lot. I always wonder, does it belong to a flight attendant or pilot? Not sure why but I usually assume the RV belongs to a pilot. NBC Nightly News just did a story on LAX parking lot B: A Second Home.

Maybe it's not so bad an idea. In my early days I lived with 11 flight attendants in a hotel crash pad. I could only handle that for so long so I moved in with 5 flight attendants in a 1 bedroom apartment. That's all I could afford being a new flight attendant living in an expensive city. Oh the glamorous life we live. Thank goodness those days are behind me... although I am digging this Winnebago!
