Wed, 23 Sep 2009 23:58:53 +0000 http://howesabouteurope.wordpress.com/?p=24#comment-5 The CHET POV - Episode I: Flight to Boston Trip started off with me being on time and ready (for once) and Sheriff n Nic being late to pick me up! Ironic, don't ya'think? Sheriff decided that on the trip to SF it'd be nice to scarf down a big, hearty burrito from Chipotle and it'd be be awesome to sit in our stomach for a all night plan trip. Felt so fat, thought JetBlue was going to charge me for the extra baggage I was bringing on the plane- that I call my stomach... So the car ride from Sharon's Mom's house in SF to the airport was fun- full of stress and tension from the Howes - realizing they are REALLY leaving for a month!! Ha! And it culminated with them forgetting their spending cash in the car. Good thing I was there to pay for the entire trip- I'm a good person. Gotta admit, I think Nicole did excellent on the plane! I was a little nervous she was going to make a run for the hatch door, throw it open at 20,000 feet and whip out a parachute! But a little Iron Chef Marathon on the jetBlue plane TV made things better. I on the other hand, LURVE flying and was happy to start the vacation! Which means half hour into the flight I was snoring like log in a saw factory. Fastforward a few hours on the plane with a couple of Nicole interruptions of "CHET! We are over Nevada! CHET! We are over Wisconsin! CHET! We are over Hawaii!" (ok the last one was wrong but I didn't have the heart to tell her...) Wiped the drool from my cheek, we landed safely in Boston and ready to start the day! PS- I put my well honed planning skills to good use and said we should do the Freedom Trail, Fenway Park (or should i say, Fenway PaaaaahhhhhhkK) tour and Duck Boat Tour. Nicole's idea was to do a tour of all the Dunkin' Donuts in the tri-state area and I said we should multi-task and do it all! PSS- further documentation of our hijinks and debachary can be found at: twitter.com/chetsniceshirt SIDE NOTE: Sheriff and I were going up head to head in Fantasy Football battle of epic proportions and he tried to sabotage my team and send them into a downward spiral of chaos by stealing my iPhone and making edits. I thwarted his diabolical plan and his Fantasy Football nerves were demolished. Chet shall be victorious. More to come... The CHET POV – Episode I: Flight to Boston

Trip started off with me being on time and ready (for once) and Sheriff n Nic being late to pick me up! Ironic, don’t ya’think?
