See that little icon over there on the right, the one that says this website has been nominated for an award? Yeah, I know, it’s really great, but is it so bad that I nominated myself? 🙂 Hey, I didn’t vote, I just added this website to the pool, okay!…

Finally, I have finished reading the book Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, by David Sedaris. LOVED IT! I use the word finally because it’s not easy to read when you’re writing and flying and doing the family thing, especially when you’re on vacation for a month and your…

I can not believe this, but I just bought a ticket for an amazing price for a transcontinental flight in November, as in this coming November, as in four weeks away. Yes, I am a flight attendant and I can fly for free, in a middle seat, if there is…

What would you do if you were a flight attendant and some young lad said to you, “I like the way you walk?” Personally, I would have kept on walking. If possible. Because you never know if there’s going to be a 200 pound drink cart blocking your way. But…

If you read my post below, you already know I get a lot of traffic from people looking for an Emirates flight attendant. Unfortunately you’re not going to find one here. What you will find are posts about my life as a flight attendant for a US carrier. Still looking…

Not sure if you’ve noticed or not, but I’ve updated the website a little. This updating business is not easy, and has taken up a good part of my day, a day that should have been spent working on my book, Skydoll – love and sex at 35,000 feet. The…
