5 sentences
A 5-sentence summary of the last leg of my trip back to the USA:
I missed my flight to Spain because my plane was delayed out of Providence, so I had a 24-hour layover, so I took a train from Philadelphia to Washington, DC, where I hung out with a great but unfortunately seldom-seen friend, Elizabeth, and then got back on the train and went back to Philadelphia and realized as I was pulling into the train station in Philadelphia that I left my plane tickets on Elizabeth’s counter at her house in Washington, DC. The fabulous people at US Airways took pity on me, potentially making up for the time they lost all my luggage en route to South Carolina with 6 months worth of my belongings I had prepared to take to Iraq, upgrading me to Envoy class, even better than first class, and I sat in a seat with so much legroom that even I, 5′11″ me, could not touch the seat in front of me with my legs OR even bending over and stretching, and they had a 3 course dinner served on plates with all I wanted to drink for free (can anyone say “Vodka and Cranberry”???), and I had a fresh capresse salad on a bed of red oak and frisee lettuces, sundried tomato-basil fetuccini in a baked parmesan cup with baked yellow and red tomatoes, portabello mushrooms and fresh goat cheese, followed by a dessert of warm pecan pie with 3 types of fresh cheese (the kind with the fancy rind) and grapes. And while I waited for the (my nose in the air and my tongue in my cheek) “coach” passengers to board, I was served mimosas and warm, fresh roasted mixed nuts; after dinner I was given a box of gourmet chocolates while my choice of movies started on my personal television until I dozed off almost fully reclined and woke up to a toasted bagel with a bowl of fresh mixed fruit.
And the best part? They didn’t even lose my luggage this time.

That was a long five sentences but it sounds like you had a fantastic flight in “envoy class”!
Jessica

Kristina
Maybe five was not the number of sentences but the number of vodka and cranberries you threw back. You say you walk around with a cloud over your head, but this is another testament that you have furry pink rabbit feet in your shoes.

Assuming sentences end with periods, I only count 4.
Semi-colons don’t count.
I can’t wait until you come back. Next time, bring B and the kids.

I was including the last 2 sentences at the end.

You were in my city, DC! I flew business class to Paris last week and I loved the space! The food however was completely uninteresting since I ordered a vegetarian meal.
