    Sitting at EWR but it’s the American terminal so not as bad as it sounds.

    Have an hour to kill and we’re drinking a coffee. Middle aged woman at the next table is drinking white wine. 8am on a Tuesday.

    I get a glass with lunch. But 8am? Maybe she’s nervous.

    At any British airport at 6.30am you can guarantee there will be numerous individuals drinking pints of lager and most likely wearing sombreros. I've often wondered about the business meetings they're presumably on their way to attend.

    I was only joking

      Usually it’s groups that are clearly on their way to some vacation destination. This looks like some businesswoman or attorney or something.

      Thank you for your attention to this matter.

        There are a fair number of folks who cannot get on a plane sober due to a crippling fear of flying. That must be terrible.

        Of course, after the last few weeks it is a bit more understandable.

          This is the third time this year I’ve flown within 36hrs of an aviation accident.

            That just means your odds of being involved in one are infinitesimal.

                By the way this is my first trip to AZ, not including one layover in Phoenix 5 years ago.

                Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                  You are in for a treat. Arizona is an incredible place. Saguaros everywhere off 17. Just watching how the vegetation changes as you change altitudes is very cool.

                  I recommend Gabriela's Taco Shop at Camp Verde exit. Tasty breakfast stuff.

                  Edit: Never mind. it's permanently closed.

                    I'll second that. We drove from Phoenix to Munds Park - you seem to be climbing for miles and miles, it's actually about 6500 feet, and watching the surroundings change is amazing.

                      We’ll be driving from Phoenix to Flagstaff this afternoon. Looking forward to it.

                                I was thinking the same thing. Maybe an international flight. Happened to me before also.

                                  I just grabbed an omelette in MSP at 6am while waiting for my DC flight to board.

                                  The two women next to me asked me 3 times where I live. Normally I’d take that as a move, but really they are hammered and forgot they already asked. Twice. It’s 6am.

                                  Midwest folks like their booze!
