This week I had the wonderful experience of missing a night in a bed. I had to fly from Seattle, Washington to West Palm Beach, Florida between Tuesday at 5 PM and Thursday at 8 AM. The best choice seemed to be to take the Red Eye at 11:55 on Tuesday night, arriving in Florida around 11 AM on Wednesday.
I had time to kill Tuesday evening, since I left the nursing home at 5 PM and didn't need to be at the airport until 10 or so. I went to a movie. I saw Men In Black III, which was pretty good. I liked watching Josh Brolin playing Tommy Lee Jones. I also had Buttered Popcorn and a bottle of water. I then went shopping for a while. I still ended up at the airport by 8 PM.
I sat, read, and ate some ice cream. The plane loaded on time and I was upgraded to first class, for which I was very happy. The seats really are more comfortable and my plan was to sleep. When I finally arrived in West Palm Beach I felt like I had worked a night shift! I drove around for about an hour including driving down the coastal highway.
The hotel was very nice to let me check in shortly before 1 PM and I donned my PJ's and got some sleep!
