So, YSR, no interesting anecdotes from your flights?Did jack try to smuggle an ax aboard the return flight so the players could chop wood?
Sadly, nothing too fun to report - pretty much business with these guys. Flights were pretty non-eventful. They chartered a Delta 767 and did it right. Flight attendants offering food/drinks just about every 45 minutes, be it a steak and/or chicken entree, a basket of cheese/crackers, fruit, basket of ice cream sandwiches, gum for landing, etc.. We were with the team at all times, but because of the "rules" put forth I never really felt comfortable engaging any of the players.A few things:1.) I am taller than MJD and I am on the short side of 5'6". This was surprising to me for some reason.2.) We had police escorts everywhere - little CHiPs guys zip-zipping up to intersections and making our lives peachy. I've decided I want a police escort for the rest of my life and have tasked the BF with making enough money to allow this.3.) Qualcomm Stadium is pretty neat, if only because it sits in what seems to be the middle of a desert. If you took a panoramic view of the stadium, you would not see any kind of high-rise, skyline, etc. Kind of cool when you consider that the weather in San Diego is always basically 74 and sunny. They did a really cool pre-game show as well, having a local parachuting team fly in and hit targets. The big moment was during the national anthem, when a guy sailed in carrying the flag, and then 4 Hueys flew overhead. While the stadium itself isn't anything all that great, it was a cool pre-game.And then the game started.....

Flight home was super quiet, but keep in mind that we were all pretty jet-lagged already from the short turn-around, so even if they had won I'm not sure it would have been any kind of GM's gay kid's pants-off dance-off.And frankly, I didn't see Del Rio get on the plane, nor did I see him on the tarmac this morning. He may have stuck back for 12 hours or so. Don't know. Great trip, just glad I didn't die.
