I dreamed of decent leg room. I dreamed of adequately tasty meals. I dreamed of complementery beer. I dreamed of on-flight entertainment where you could choose your film from a variety of options, and even be able to watch it. Domesticallly, I even dreamed of any food at all.

Those where my midsummer night’s dreams, none of which came true, thanks to AA:s rather dubious customer policy.

On the other hand, I dreamed of me AND my luggage arriving safely in San Francisco on time. I dreamed of finding a nice hostel. I dreamed of having a beer and a snaps. Now, those dreams came true.

I’m in America, and the adventure begins!
