Flying Business Class

This trip to Saudi Arabia is my first trip out the country. This trip to Saudi Arabia is my first plane ride flying business class. This trip to Saudi Arabia is the first time I'm flying completely by myself with no known faces.

So you can see why I say I'm blessed. How many people do you know that went to Saudi Arabia just to speak for a conference?? If your answer is none, well now you know one because you know me!

So anyway, I'm 20 years old with access to exclusive lounge because I'm flying business class. So with my first experience: As soon as the doors opened for me when I walked in the business class, the lady as me, "Are you lost?" I didn't take it the wrong way because I really didn't know if this was the place I was suppose to go. But after she seen my ticket, she was like, "Oh, Ok, go right on in." (lol)

As soon as I walked in, eyes were on me. All of the fancy coach luggage and business suits were looking at poor little old me, and I was not the janitor. I just smiled walked in and thought I was somebody they should know. So when I sat down, I wanted to walk around so more, just so they can see me one more time. (lol) It was funny, and then my plane was boarding.

On business class, I had a three course meal compared to the soda and peanuts I usually get on coach. For starters, a salad, then I had a choice between ribs and chicken. And because I won't be eating pork for the next week (because of Arabia rules), I choose the ribs. For dessert, a bowl of ice cream. My chair laid into a full bed, and I had my own TV with NEW movies that just was in the box offices and the remote turned into a game remote. I knew I should have been reading for class, but instead I was playing Casino Blackjack, and Sudoku.
