December in San Diego. And in San Diego. And San Diego. And again...

Wow.  I guess most of you know I've not been flying much for the last few months.  But the big Clock of Reprieve has ticked itself out.  I'm out of sick days and every other possible excuse I could file in order to stay on the ground.  So...I bid a schedule for December.  And darned if I didn't GET it!!!

DALE....get ready, my dear.  I got an entire month of long layovers in San Diego.  There is no escaping me now, you old goat!  LOL.

I will be buying a multiple trip pass on the Coaster.  I have SEVEN opportunities to hang out with Hoggie.  Oh...and with you, too, of course, my dear (but only if you take me for a hand-sized chili relleno at your relative's incredible restaurant again, eh????)

Better yet, let's spend the day after Christmas together here in San Diego.  I will pick you up at the train station and take you for an unforgettable Dec 26 meal in Little Italy (with NO walking!)

I'm buying. Sheesh.  How can you say no??? 

THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD IMPROVE THIS MONTH IS IF SOME NEW EXER LETS ME KNOW THAT THEY ARE NEAR SAN DIEGO AND WOULD LIKE TO GET TOGETHER FOR BRUNCH, LUNCH, COCKTAILS, DINNER...  REALLY...I MEAN THIS.  DALE AND I ARE (sort of) GOOD COMPANY; I'LL BUY THE PITCHERS OF MARGs.  They won't be as good as Pir8Fan (our dear Tommy) makes them, but hey, I said I'm buying, right???  LOL.  Heck, I'm so starved for EX fun...I'll even buy DINNER.

Listen, the only thing that could make any of these layovers of mine better would be to have a new EXer come forward and want to hang out with us in either San Diego (my layover) or in Oceanside (Dale's town).  PLEASE...if you are an EXer anywhere in this area, contact me.  I WILL make this happen.  If you worry that it might not be an okay way to spend a meal/evening...well, just contact any EX who has met me in one of my layover cities for dinner or happy hour.  For heavens' sake.. ask me for EX references if you are concerned.  I completely understand your concern.  And I completely DON'T understand you not letting us get together to talk about how to quit...and more importantly, how to learn to enjoy life without cigarettes.

Dale...I am waiting to hear from you...  Apple pie???

About the Author
I'm a 64 year-old flight attendant for a major US airline. Prior to that, I owned an ice cream store and six hot dog carts and put my five kids thru college on hot dog earnings! Prior to THAT, I was Director of International Administration for Domino's Pizza, Inc. I was married to my H.S. sweetheart (dad of my 5 kids) for 17 years. I've been with Jeff for 23 years, but we just finally got married in 2016! Jeff & I live in Cape Meares, OR right on the beach. I'm from Ann Arbor, MI, where many of my kids/relatives still live. My flying base is Washington, DC, where I have a condo that I stay in when I'm between flying trips. My dream is to retire and stay home with Jeff and my two cats, Kenneth & Barbara...not happening soon, though. So I go home whenever I can get a week or more off. I LOVE to meet up with other EXers in the cities where I lay over. I usually blog about what cities I'm laying over in, so let me know if I'm staying near you! I'll buy dinner!! Xxxooo, Sky
