Grand Tour of Arkansas -Coming Right Up!

My next trip starts Wednesday. It is a grand tour of the great state of Arkansas, complete with two lovely overnights in Northwest Arkansas (XNA) and the lovely capital city, Little Rock.

I actually trip-traded for this. While it's no London or Rome (dammit!) XNA is a pretty decent overnight. I like the Flight Attendant I am flying with, Sharon. She does a good job and definitely isn't embarrassing to work with. She does have her serving apron COVERED in pins--pins that she has collected through the years. It must take her an hour to take them off when she washes it! (I think I'll ask her about that--and get back to you with it!) I'm telling you, she has more than a hundred pins! It looks sorta like those people that hoard, if you ask me....

Anyway, she is a nice lady, and I like talking to her, so, we'll have a nice trip. Also, I am flying #1, which I like better.

Here is my trip:
