Off to Nepal

Last year SFO777Jr. and I spent 6 days in India when Mrs. SFO said "no way am I ever going to India". Sensing another golden opportunity for a "no way" moment from mom, he suggested Nepal. I've always wanted to go but knew that Mrs. SFO would not be interested. So here we are with Jr. scoring another all expenses paid vacation with dad. Pretty smart kid. LOL. Of course he comes by it honestly as Mrs. SFO is no slouch herself, last night deciding that she wanted to see Lebron James in Denver this Friday and can I please get her a good seat? Happy wife, happy life. Just take pics dear.

With the US-ification of American Airlines by Discount Dougie, I cancelled our DEN-DFW-IAD AA flights and rebooked on United nonstop. Hey Doug and Hector, if you're going to serve me garbage, I may as well fly nonstop on United and save a couple of hours.

Great DEN-based crew with open bar PDB and a refreshingly honest admission that this was "an old 757 with no power or wifi".

Despite our lead FA Donald bouncing around the cabin taking lunch orders from 1Ks, we had our choice of Beef & Cheddar sandwich on an Asiago Cheese baguette, or chicken salad. And onion soup. Don't know it was three weeks of inedible US Airways food on AA, but the salad was actually pretty good.
