- very early RJ bird - 5:54 AM flight (first flight of the day out of CMH, I think)

- talked to former co-worker of mine at America West, she was thrilled to see me
- had cup of Starbucks coffee at CMH - did not sleep prior to flight
- flight was full, no one bought inflight food (Food for Purchase) except me - flight attendant did not collect $3.00 from me
- sun rose during very smooth flight, nice sight
- very low ceiling in DFW, did not see ground until about a minute before touchdown
- spotted America West "Ohio" 757 in DFW! I think that the Ohio plane had mechanical problem - it was there the whole time before my arrival and after my departure in DFW
KDFW - Dallas/Ft.Worth, Texas - KPSP - Palm Springs, California
- three hours layover in DFW, ate breakfast at Friday's

Hope you enjoyed my home airport! I really enjoy watching the AA Mad Dogs come in as AS hasn't been sending them in as often as they did just a few years ago (though they compensate from time to time with a 739 ). Also am glad the weather was nice for you, it's actually suppose to rain tomorrow!

Okay, my first reaction was to say I don't like your style of trip report. And to be honest, my second reaction was the same.
However, it's starting to grow on me a bit (I think the pictures helped). And you actually provided quite a few details. But maybe that's just the Smirnoff Ice talking.
Anyhoo, one wonders....does Palm Springs have its own Walk of Fame, or did Rock Hudson actually have some type of earth-shattering life event on that very spot? Or just a quickie with a budding actor?
