I am dizzy just reading about your upcoming summer, Annie. Not enough days to juggle all that.
Flying the Vice President, his secretary and a friend of the Vice President of the company that I fly for down to Richmond later this morning and then back home after dinner. I just checked the aviation weather forecast and it looks to be a dreary day. This man, (the VP), is also a nervous flyer and we will be in turbulence for most of the short trip because of flying in low altitude and crappy weather, so I will make sure that we have a fresh supply of sickness (barf) bags on-board the aircraft.

Have a safe and uneventful trip..may you sleep through most of it, Annie. How many stops will you have? Layovers?
Update: We had a very rough ride home last evening due to the storms on the east coast. Being that it was such a short trip between the two destinations, I kept my altitude at 22,000 feet, just below the ceiling of the clouds. However, we had very heavy rains, some wind at around 15-20 kts., but thankfully no lightning. The person that I thought that would become ill did not, but his secretary did. I think her issue was nerves. We were tossed around pretty good. Then, to make matters worse, when we were in our final descent, the ATC tells me that I have an MD-80 on my butt and that I had to go around. I was already at 8000 ft., so when I had to accelerate and climb, everyone in the back thought we were having a mechanical issue. I had my FO explain to our passengers what was going on over the intercom. I was told after we landed that the lady was freaking out, so I am sure that her nerves got the best of her. I am going to call and check on her today.
