Thankfully, Southwest Airlines does a really great job getting us to all these places! It's interesting how some people *hate* Southwest, and some people love them. I'm in the love-them category. I've been flying on Southwest for years and years, and have had mostly positive experiences with them. True, before 9/11 the flight attendants were much more fun, and they're still a great bunch. The planes are nice, their prices can be reasonable, and we've had really great luck with on-time flights lately, as well.
There's a hotel in San Diego that has a contract with Southwest Airlines so that all their crew stay there. The hotel has a sushi restaurant in it, and because of that contract with Southwest, the sushi bar stays open late at night. One night Donovan and I were there, and we ended up sitting next to a couple of Southwest flight attendants. I can't remember how the conversation started, but I asked them what they would most like to receive as a gift from a passenger. The answer was very clear...chocolate!! This was a few years ago, and ever since then I make it a point to bring a bag of Reese's miniature peanut butter cups (my favorite) on every flight, and I give them to the flight attendants. I have gotten a wide range of reactions, but one thing is clear. These folks sure do like being appreciated and thought of!
What's my point? I'm not sure I have one. :) I do know that I'm personally grateful for the existence of Southwest Airlines, and the great people who work for them. And perhaps I really should look at buying their stock! :p

I think they should give you a free flight for this recommendation :)
I'm looking forward to seeing you Sunday!
