What a wonderful flight I had today. I left New York on an American Airlines flight to Dallas, then on to El Paso. On the flight from New York, these two women were seated next to me. I don't usually say anything to people sitting next to me on the plane but I did say "Good Morning" and then the conversation started. They wondered what I was doing with my iPad, which was tracking our flight and they were fascinated with that. They were also curious about me shooting out the window with my toy camera. We all talked about where we were going. They are students training to be Optometrists, and were headed to a conference in Dallas. So I had a lot of questions about their studies and what Optometrists do. I think we talked for two hours straight, on the three hour flight and had such a nice time. It is so unusual that I talk to people sitting next to me - the conversations never get started, but talking to both of these young women was so interesting and made an ordinary flight something really special!

I thought you always struck up conversations with everyone you meet along the way. I love that you share your interests with others. Great photo of the three of you. Joan
I was thinking that on most flights, you are sitting with your wife so you don’t chat with other passengers. However, on a solo flight it’s much more fun to talk with others. Which is something you are very good at! Betsey
You don't usually talk with people next to you on the plane?.......
