3AM Flight

Today my day started at 3AM. I had an early morning flight to San Jose. And no matter how many times I am up that early what really amazing me is how many other people are up too!

It was a good flight and I sat next to a great couple celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. He had surprised her with a trip to Hawaii. They were having the time of their lives and just so beautifully comfortable with each other. It made me smile.

They were very interested in what I do for a living and I answered their many questions. I always love answering them as I truly love what I do and do know how lucky I am to be doing it. They said their daughter was very interested in getting into event planning and asked my opinion on colleges for her to attend.

After a great conversation they fell off to sleep and I began reviewing my paperwork for the event I was heading to. It was thought provoking to sit there and imagine what kind of a trip everyone else was taking. All of us in a common place but setting off to a wide range of diverse ends of our day.

I had a great day and met several new TDs that I haven’t had the pleasure of working with yet. It always amazes me how small the TD world is as so often we share mutual friends in the industry. It kind of brings a sense of community to what we do.

And as the day of work is finally over, I enjoyed a lovely room service meal and plan to get some sleep as it is such a gift when you get some on-site. I want to make sure I have tons of energy tomorrow as my job this week is to take care of all the arrangements for the VIPs and my personal VIPs, the staff. Very fitting job for myself, if I do say so. As I love when I can bring a smile to someone’s face and I get to spend my week making sure that happens on a regular basis.

Until next time.
