Change of Flight Plans!

Wow.  Listen to this.  The Crew Desk just called me with a change in my schedule.  Instead of staying here in Amsterdam, I'm working a flight back to Newark in just 8 hours from now.  They are doing this because they need me to work ANOTHER flight to/from Amsterdam on July 5th.  

Once I arrive in Newark at noon tomorrow, I have a 30 hour layover before I go back to Amsterdam.  And here's the really excellent part: they are laying me over in downtown NYC in a hotel just across from the The World Trade Center Memorial!

So, after saying, here on EX, that I was disappointed not to be in the USA on the Fourth of July...just LOOK where I'll be on July 4th-5th!   I'll be visiting the 9/11 Memorial Site.  I can only imagine the patriotism and love of our country that I will find there on Independence Day.

Are there any EXers in NYC ???

AND...I can come to the Bonfire, too!  Woohoo!

xxxooo,   Sky

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
