The flying wasn’t exhausting at all. It was great. I arrived at home a little buzzed, but so much more excited about everything than when I fly in and out of Vegas on SouthWest. The flying itself was such a thrill. Maybe after a decade of doing it that goes away, I don’t know. More about the Diamond in another post. I have a backlog in my head.
