Low flying, clear beautiful day.
'Best inflight movie ever' as we flew over the islands we have become to know only by water. What a great way to leave this island paradise.

Man there is a lot of kids and babies (crying) on this flight. Although, noise cancelling headphones can reduce the drone of airplane engines by almost 100%, a baby's cry can penetrate them. Haven't their parents heard of baby Gravol or Tylenol. I am sure anyone of us would pay extra to have either included with their boarding passes. I don't mean to sound cruel but, these are probably the same parents that will pump drugs in their kids for any inflection. Volume up and Gin & Tonic please (it has become my flying drink of choice). Regardless of the disrespecting parents it was a great flight with US-Airways to Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, USA
While at the airport I entered the USAirways lounge for a bite to eat, a glass of wine and to use their complimentary wifi.
Long sleeve shirt on - Check.
Gate 10 is conveniently just down the corridor from the lounge. Flight 3382 left on time for Halifax with me aboard and more crying babies. Headphones on, G&T please.
Captain just spoke, 12 minutes til we land in Halifax, -16C.
