No Movie, No Peanuts
Our flight was a short one, lasting a little over 2 hours. During that time, there’s no movie, because anymore, movies are almost 2 hours long! What is neat is that on the Auto Train, which is out of Virginia and goes down to Florida always shows a movie. It’s a long, overnight ride, so the movie breaks up the evening. Last time we were on the train, we saw the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie. We’d seen it in the theater, so it wasn’t our first time. Either way, it helped pass time. You can only read or play a game so long.
One of the things I did do on my flight was flip through some gossip mags. I bought three, but what seemed tedious is all three of them had many of the same pictures. I’d see the same shot of Drew Barrymore with her boyfriend in all three mags. Or I’d see the same picture of Cameron Diaz kissing someone on the set. No need to buy all three, when one will do the job. On the other hand, I had close to 2 hours in the airport to kill, along with the 2+ hour flight.
I didn’t get any peanuts….they’ve switched to pretzels. I guess it’s cheaper.
