Saturday, January 04, 2003 I'm back home! And boy am I happy! I had a great time in Madrid but I miss NYC. I just adore this city. I flew in on Friday. Took off from Madrid at 10.30 AM, connected in Lisbon at 11.30 AM and arrived in NY at about 5 PM. The best thing was that I got bumped into First Class on the Lisbon-NYC leg. I have no idea why but when I showed my boarding pass for the very last time the flight attendant that took it wrote a new seat number and announced to me that it was on First Class. It was certainly enjoyable but frankly, I don't think I would pay for First Class out of my pocket - sure, the seats are fine but I don't need them, I can sleep just about anywhere. The champagne I don't care for and I am not drinking more wine than I would in coach just because it's free. The food is much better and you get your own little screen (but I hardly ever watch a movie) so the only selling point to me is the clean bathroom. For some reason I expected the restroom to be much bigger and it wasn't, but it sure was cleaner and that I appreciate. At Barajas airport, doing the check in just beside me was this guy who worked at the office a few months ago and whom I really like. He was flying back to NY with his wife, and I really liked her too. Then on the plane the lady sitting beside me was a Barbra Streisand look alike and just friendly enough that we could talk a little without me feeling like I had to sustain a running conversation till landing. I am home now. I did not go out yesterday nor today, except for the bare necessities. Tomorrow though I should go to the Apple store in SoHo. 11:21 PM
