After you make so many flights on a carrier you can get into their "MVP" program. I always thought these were a little lame but since I got mine, I get it. I can upgrade to first class if a seat is available for free. I've done this enough that I'm now in touch with the experience of flying first class versus coach.

Today's WoYoPracMo was dedicated to the MVP card I know carry for it allowed me to sit in ardha virasana til Portland and then switch to padmasana until Seattle.

I'm sick. I knew it when I woke up at 3:30 the other night. My throat hurts like hell and I feel all foggy and crappy. I hate flying like that... even more, I hate traveling like that. I was supposed to be going out with some friends tonight but, instead, I ate some soup and had some tangerine juice and I'm watching a movie. It's cold up here. For the first time I am bringing stuff up here to "leave." My yoga mat has been here for 6 months but I'm gonna leave some yoga clothes here too. All in the name of learning to pack lighter so that I don't have to check a bag. Flying first class and having carry on makes traveling at least an hour faster. I get it now.

I was planning on practice tomorrow but we'll see how I am when I wake up. Until then, tea, blankets and movies.
