Frequent flyer

Landed in Denver on a Sunday night, it suddenly occurred to me during the cab ride to the airport that the little life inside me has already become a frequent flyer and could well passed the 1K membership mark on United alone.

She is such a good travel companion: she never complained be there with me in Nov in Minneapolis's minus 20 degree weather hailing a cab on the street, she enjoyed the Omni Parker House in Boston attending a global leadership workshop with my clients, we took a stroll to ground zero in New York one evening after work, enjoyed the Hilton Garden Inn in Cumberland Rhode Island, flew out to Columbus Ohio and Dayton Ohio and never let the ice rain dampen our excitement. The longest flight she has been on was to Helsinki Finland in Jan, we were both new to the country and enjoyed the herring for breakfast, walking in the snow to the office, the 10AM sunrise and 4pm sunset. She went to the client board meeting with me and cheered for me all the way during my presentation and we rewarded ourselves with a Helsinki Chinese meal afterwards, nice black pepper chicken, yum! The most she has been to is Denver, almost every week since Feb, I hope the 2 hour ride is not so much a torture for her. Friends advise me to have baby listen to classic music before birth, all she got was the plane engine noise and the friendly announcements from the captions and the flight attendants. I am going to Wilmington, Delaware next week, I hope she can put up with it still, I promise this will be the last trip she takes before meeting me face to face for the first time.
