After a horrendous AA flight day for Dave
and I:
- After taxing to the runway we were notified that the plane did not have the "proper papers" which we presumed meant not the right toilet paper. This was remedied after 20-30 minutes. This in turn gave us the chills since we only had 42 minutes between flights at O'Hare with gates in different concourses
- We actually arrived and made our way down to the gate at about boarding time. Of course only to find out that the plane we were to take had some unknown mechanical issue. The issue was a passenger door that would not close and seal. We offered duct tape and to even hold the door shut during the flight, to no avail not humor of the flight staff. After updates that become further apart they finally moved us to a new plane and a new gate. So in all we sat an extra hour or so which put us behind in the queue to get out of O'Hare.
- The good news is that we ended up doing 655 MPH to Buffalo due to the Jet Stream behind us.
As for dinner, Alex from our customer site took us to Tsunami in Kenmore, NY. Now that was an excellent dinner. Appetizer was small sashimi presentation (the large was far too much after seeing the tray) that included a Hawaiian Bluefish and a side salmon dish that the chef prepared over rice that was incredible. For dinner I selected Hawaiian Butterfish since I had never had it before. Dessert around the table had a creme brulee sampler (four tiny different flavored ones), a chocolate lava cake with cinnamon ice cream and I had a Mango Cream Cheese Spring Roll. I had to roll myself out of there.
