Once Upon A Time I Got Lucky
I went on my first trip to the branch office in Singapore. Beside me sat a girl whos family lived in Singapore and over the many hours we became friends. After a while the conversation died down, the lights were off and we did our best to get some sleep. She put her hands around my arm and rested her head on my shoulder. It was very quiet on board and she woke me up, wanted to get comfortable and she lifted the armrest between us. We pretended to be comfortable, but you just aren't. We talked and the conversation turned to the mile high club.
The bathroom was small and we had more trouble than you might think getting in position. The whole thing took about ten minutes, and we went back to our seats. We promised to get together and have dinner but the timing didn't work out and I left back for LA without connecting with her again.
I spent a career traveling around the world, amassed a million miles and a lifetime award of upgrades. But for the next 40+ years nothing like that first trip to Singapore ever happened again.
