Friday I took my first business trip ever, and flew for the first time since I went to Jamaica in 1998. I took Midwest Express to Milwaukee and I'd totally do it again. For one thing, they serve complimentary champagne with a decent meal on every flight (yes, even breakfast).

The security staff at National gave me a special cup holder so I could send my large Starbucks cup through the X-ray machine. I was pulled aside for a special going-over with the wand, which was sensitive enough to note even the underwires in my bra.
