Sheila, I can't imagine the air miles you you must have. Not sure what they call it at United Airlines but the highest level at American Airlines is called Concierge Level and you have to be invited; not everyone gets it. I'm thinking you must be at that level with United!

Hi, Sheila! Love this channel. Like you, we have family in Puerto Rico. When we visit (we have a cruise coming up on Viva), we tend to stay at the Residence Inn (another Marriott brand). Great location. Breakfast is included. The smallest rooms are still big (the size of a studio apartment). It's quiet and comfortable. Great pool. And the staff is amazing.

Come October, I hope to serve you on KLM!! I promise, your red meat will not be overcooked!! I still cannot understand why crewmembers cannot use judgment against cooking instruments!!! In initial training they told us "everything goes in the oven on 250 for twenty minutes"... No!!... Fish?? 5 minutes!! Beef? (uncovered) 10 minutes. It is already 50% cooked before loaded!! Check for pink!! It doesn't need to go in the oven on 250 for 20 minutes

I miss you, Sheila!! I will never forget, Chicago to Newark. You two were runners!! I didn't care what class you were in, I had the water bottle ready!! It was the 757. I couldn't remember where you two were seated. I just remembered you two were glad you made it after a canceled flight, and I was told we have two runners. I thought you two looked familiar, LOL!! As soon as you two boarded, the gate agent closed the door. Weeks later when the clip came out I was sooooo excited!!! I saved a glass of water for my favorite Sheila!!

Sheila, I remember Matteus Rose' in college. It came in a dark glass bottle with sort of a basket covering the bottom half. It was cheap and available. At that time everything tasted good. Happy travels. Leonard. Btw. The hotel seems nice but the rug right by the bed looked a little iffy.

Great video Sheila. I had a mega delay on Air Baltic out of Amsterdam and only had 45 minute connection in Riga to Tallinn. We landed way after the Tallinn departure time and despite walking the entire length of the airport to make the flight, they held it for the 5 Amsterdam connectors. That’s service, but a bummer for the rest. 😅
