Six On A Plane

So my publisher is having me flown down to San Francisco for the weekend so I can attend the World Horror Convention. (There is no way I can say that and not feel like a rock star.) I leave this evening and will be back Sunday.

This is the first time I've been on a plane since I was about 12 years old. I'm a little nervous. Not about the plane falling out of the sky or being high-jacked by mad Arabs -- more along the lines of "ohmigod there's a thousand rulesandregulations and what if they send me home for having the wrong size carry-on luggage??"

*deep breaths*

Ah, well, onward and upward (literally). Things to do, people to scare.

That is excellently cool and rockstar-ish!

The rules and regs aren't as bad as they were a year or two ago (I could knit on an airplane now if I wanted to, though I think they still don't like long circular needles, because, you know, I might just try to garrote someone with them). Just make sure you get to the airport earlyish, because the lines at the security checkpoint are sometimes quite long (though hopefully a Thursday evening won't be too bad).

(I like parentheses too much, I sometimes think.)
