Day 015 / Business Class, Baby

I’m traveling to London this week for work and it just so happened that by chance I got to travel business class.  Well, what a different experience it was.   I arrived at the airport with my co-worker Ted and we went directly into the business class lounge where they handed us two free drink vouchers.   It was very posh inside and I felt a little out of place ogling at everything around me.   Everyone else that was there seemed very cool and attractive.   I began to wonder if everyone there had seen “Up In The Air” and then a part of me deep inside said “I’m sure they have and they all love it.”  
 
I entered the plane through a separate door and was quickly offered champagne.   It felt a little like that old SNL sketch where Eddie Murphy disguises himself as a white guy and after the last black guy gets off the bus it turns into a lounge bar complete with cigarette girl.  There was a newspaper cart, the stewardesses were more attractive than in coach and there was an extra foot of space beyond my full stretch.   So it was a rather eye-opening experience to say the least.  
 
On another note, I’d been so busy today preparing to leave that I forgot that I’d lose half a day traveling.   So I had to quickly come up with something creative to do on the plane.  I, at the last minute, decided to draw on my provided menu as I didn’t have any blank paper.   I also took out the safety card from the seat in front of me and tried drawing some of the images from that as well.   I only had this one pen unfortunately and I had some trouble using it because I tend to be more of a sketcher when I draw and when you’re working with permanent ink it’s best to think about every line before you actually draw it.  Anyways, here are some of the drawings I made.  Not the greatest posting but under the circumstances I did what I had to do.
