Back in Manhattan, in style

On Jan 7 I flew to NYC for the first time since this past May. It was kinda weird being back there after so long, when you consider I used to fly there nearly every week when I was living in Toronto. Once we hit Manhattan in the cab, I found myself staring up out of the cab window at the tall buildings, just like a first-timer. Overall it was a great time and nice to see everyone from work and some of the friends I have in NYC/NJ -- and I picked up a couple DS games for cheap :)

Oh I almost forgot -- I rarely look forward to flying for work, but this time I was ecstatic -- and that's because this was my first flight on Eos Airlines, a business-class only airline I had heard so much about. Basically they take a 757 jet which normally has 220 seats and gut it and put in 48 "suites", which are basically individual bed areas... 3 feet wide by 7 feet long. In fact, each person actually gets 2 seats and a table folds out so you can dine with a companion face-to-face while looking out the window. A little ridiculous really, but man does it make for a pleasurable flight experience.
