keeping it moving

April 27th, 2009

I got the good news that I was being upgraded to first class for my entire flight tomorrow. I have NO IDEA how this keeps happening and I am not complaining. Maybe I’m on some list where Continental knows I’m selling flights to Costa Rica like mad and they want to make me happy. I don’t care, I’m just happy.

Today I can tell I’m …
