30 days of Stats

Beginning with the first flight, I tracked everything I could during the adventure. I enjoy statistics and so this was simple. From the flight attendants who thought I was crazy for asking what the plane name was, the waiting passengers looking oddly at me for taking pictures of the gate info, and the passengers on board sitting nearby who were glancing at my laptop in-flight to see what I could possibly be writing; well here you go. This is a full recap of what the past 30 days entailed in numbers...

So there you have it. Some of the stats I kept of my adventure.  I sat in every letter seat (A-E), I sat in the first row, I sat in the exit row, and I sat in the back row.  I tried every snack and even a snack box. I never flew with the same flight crew or pilots.  I never encountered an unhappy flight attendant, unruly passenger, or flight emergency (thankfully).  I flew on the planes Blue Send Me, Sincerely Blue, Do Be Do Be Blue, All You Can Blue, Blue Crew, As Blue As You Get, Clear Blue Sky, and Viva La Blue just to name a few.  I spent nearly 4 of the 30 days in the air. I went East to West, North to South, Southeast to Northwest, and everything in between.  I flew with Pauly D of Jersey Shore fame to Denver and I rode the elevator with Kim Kardashian in Florida. I met an amazing amount of interesting people on the flights, in the airports, and across the country. Thankfully I lived to tell you all about it.  The adventure may have just ended, but this site is just beginning.  Pictures, stories from the trip, and what comes next for me is coming.
