Tom - Seat 2A DTW to ROC

Tom is really looking forward to getting home.  He's been traveling a lot! Recently spent 2 weeks in Vegas for work - that's a lot of time in a place that is sensory overload!  Also some time in Houston - I told him I'd take his place next week when he has to go back so I can visit a friend of mine that's in the hospital there.  Tom's an auditor - I'm sure I can fill in just fine - "I need to look at the files for...blah blah blah...." - okay, so maybe he's better off going himself.

We mutually agree that the parents behind us have no common sense.  They are traveling with their 2 kids - ages 5 and 7 - and have placed them across the aisle -together!  and as kids are - they are a bit rambunctious.  I truly feel sorry for the folks in front of them whose seats are getting kicked.  Note to others, it's best to have a parent next to each child - saves you saying "stop that" a million times :-)

Since this flight is again Detroit to Rochester (just like last week) - I'm wondering if we can see Niagara Falls from the left side of the plane. (last week I was on the right side)  With my new knowledge of how Lake Ontario and Lake Erie are connected by the Niagara River we think we spotted the area where the falls are.  It's a bit cloudy out - so can't be sure - but I'm thinking we did identify Grand Island - this is one time I wish the pilots would say - "off to your left you can see....."

This flight I am finishing a book - "Crush it!" - all about following your passion. In reading I realized my passion is people and places...and of course having fun!  Having Tom as my seatmate this trip renewed my energy for this book.  (he promised he would check out my blog - hence here it is 3am and I am getting him in my book!) Thanks Tom!

Tom and I are both Fisher Alumni (always nice to find a connection) -although he's only 25 - I can tell you he is going to go places!  I love his confidence and presense. 

Good luck Tom on that new job (we'll share some wine!) and safe travels!
