not liking the Crystal City Sheraton.

i should have gone back to the Hampton Inn. the service is not as good, the room either. hmmm, i wonder. at least i'm only here for two nights for work and not for like fun or anything like that. the bed is ok; king size gigantic bed. not as comfy though. maybe i'm just biased because the hotel shuttle took too long to get me at the airport and it went down hill from there. hmm. they didn't allow my dinner delivery to go up to the 14th floor where i'm staying so i had to go down in my pajamas to pick it up. how annoying is that. in any event, let's see how things go. i'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt for now. :)

anyway, the plane ride was not bad but i still feel uncomfortable flying. i don't get it. i have been to aruba, japan, florida, and DC x 2 after i had bad experience coming from Spain where the plane dipped a bit. i should be able to let go of that lingering fear but why do i still get nervous when i fly? i don't get it. i was sitting next to this young guy who also has a cold--apparently, or he instantaneously got it from me. i wasn't very friendly; didn't even look his way. i hate it when i'm like that. i should be courteous to people even if i am sick and tired. it was funny because he was sitting next to be while waiting for boarding and then we end up sitting next to each other on the plane. he kept reading a magazine and i was reading my book (Oscar Wao). i kept laughing with the book and i think he thought i was a bit looney. then i fell asleep.
