just a family seeking out great adventures
I've explained before that my family and I can fly for free on my airline for domestic flights, and for just taxes on international flights with my airline. My family and I can also fly for discounted prices on most major airlines. As a flight attendant, I have an additional bonus (known as a cabin... Continue Reading →
About two weeks ago, I hit my one year anniversary as a flight attendant! Let's talk about it. Can you imagine wanting to go to work? I know! That's a crazy thought, isn't it? In all seriousness, I hope that many people do look forward to going to work. Towards the end of my career... Continue Reading →
I am an incredibly frugal person. I think sometimes people look at my life and may think that I live a life of deprivation and that I miss out. I'm sure sometimes it's true that I've really missed out on something amazing because I didn't want to spend money. But MOST of the time, I... Continue Reading →
So when L was around 20 months old, we had a trip planned to Vietnam. The only problem? Saign was having a ton of back pain. He got an MRI which showed a herniated disc, but he couldn't get in to see the back-doctor-guy until after our trip. He told me he wasn't sure he... Continue Reading →
Okay, let's just start this off with the truth: I am no expert on flying with a newborn (meaning a baby who is under 3 months). I flew with my child as a newborn for a total of 21 hours, and a total of 4 flights: Seattle to Reykjavik, Reykjavik to Paris, and back along... Continue Reading →
The title says it all. In my opinion, being a flight attendant is absolutely the best job in the world. It is super easy and super fun most of the time. Buuuuuut...it's not a great way to make money, thus making it the best job in the world only if you don't need a job.... Continue Reading →
I'm often asked, "What's been your favorite layover?" My answer to my question is honest, but likely disappointing to the asker, "Any layover that's over 24 hours." Generally, that's true. I usually have great fun on 24 hour layovers, and no single layover stands out above the rest. (I think Kona probably had the potential... Continue Reading →
September was a weird month on reserve. My airline increased the number of flight attendants on reserve, which resulted in a lot of us working very little. As I reviewed here, being "on reserve" means being on-call for the airline. 18 days a month they can call me and make me work. They will pay... Continue Reading →
One of the best things about being a flight attendant is being able to fly for free on my days off! It's super cool! I finished training at the beginning of May, and so far, we've taken so many free flights that I quite honestly can't count them. We've flown somewhere for fun at least... Continue Reading →
Saign and I have a goal to visit every US National Park together. In 2020 and 2021 we took road trips from Washington State to cover parks that were driveable-ish from our home. If our lives hadn't changed so much in the last year, I suspect we would have taken our adorable truck camper on... Continue Reading →
