Deep in the Heart...

skyring...of Texas!
Oh boy, you could have sawed a foot off either side of my smile yesterday when I got off the plane and still had enough left to light up DFW!
So very good to be back in Texas!
I'm in a small Texas town, having snored my way through the night on TexasWren's guest ned, and I am on top of the world. I have to pinch myself to wake up and find it's not just one amazing dream.
TexasWren is cooking me breakfast, and I've got a fresh cup of coffee and I'm grabbing a couple of minutes of internet. Not near enough time to tell the whole story, but let's see how far I get.
My flight was comfort plus. So this is what first class is like. Even on American Airlines it is wonderful. Seats that lie flat, great tucker (and lashings off it), a wine list that impresses ("Hey, that's Penfolds Koonunga Hill!" I exclaimed when I saw the shiraz. "I'll have a bucket of that, please!" - a seriously good drop, that I can't begin to afford back home). And a couple of flight attendants who were fifty somthing and total darlings.
Met at the terminal by Mary and Irma, local BookCrossers, who navigated me to Billy Miners, where we found TexasWren and JohnnieZero, had Billyburgers - with the jalopeno cheese sauce and the world's best fries and root beer and the odd tim Tam or two - and more BookCrossers than I can name turned up and brought books. Had a wonderful time, but I was fading fast towards the end.
The loaded me into their enormous Suburban - the only vehicle that my luggage doesn't fill completely - and I was asleep before we left Fort Worth, waking up every mow and then to make random comments.
Slept heartily and now it's morning, and I'm in heaven, the smell of fresh eggs and bacon, luring me away.
This is first class, right here.
