The good news? Tom, Ellyn, and Brian are all in C (Business).
The bad news? Kathy's upgrade didn't clear and almost surely won't from our research here in the NRT RCC.
The not-so-bad news? She has an exit row seat near the back and she and Brian will swap upper deck and 45C partway through the flight.
The not-so-good news? Kathy and Brian fly a CRJ SFO-SEA and Kathy's upgrade didn't clear either. Ah well, we're still planning to be back home tonight and it's been a great trip with Tom and Ellyn.
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
