Fact: Many people complain about the taste of airplane food.\u00a0 <\/strong>However, they fail to consider the fact that they are traveling at 500 miles per hour in a pressurized cabin at around 30,000 feet.\u00a0 The dry air at that altitude, combined with the low pressure that causes a reduction in the sense of smell, impacts the function of taste buds.\u00a0 Studies have shown that your ability to taste drops as much as 30% on a plane.\u00a0 Airlines typically compensate by putting more salt and sugar in food, which makes things taste just a bit off.\u00a0 Also, the loud noises on a plane can impact taste buds, inhibiting the ability to taste sweet food.<\/em><\/p>\n

I thought about having to drive to the airport this morning, and this is what I came up with; oh, so true1<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5:30 AM and we are getting ready to go to the airport at 8:00 AM for a 10:30 AM flight to Texas and then on to Detroit for my operation on Monday morning.\u00a0 I realized I had not flown in over 25 years!<\/p>\n

It is 12:35, and we are 37,000 feet up in the sky!!\u00a0 We just finished an excellent shrimp salad.\u00a0 It is 3:15 Texas time, and we are 80 miles from Dallas.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Coming into Dallas<\/p><\/div>\n

We arrived with 40 minutes to spare before departing for Detroit.\u00a0 We had dinner on the plane; Mary had a turkey sandwich, and I had another salad!<\/p>\n

\"\"

I was reading on the way into Detroit!<\/p><\/div>\n

We had to laugh at meals on airplanes today.\u00a0 In the 1960s, there were meals served!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Steak, chicken, seafood… wow!<\/p><\/div>\n

It is 2,277 miles as the crow flies, from Orange to Detroit, more if you must stop in Texas on the way!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mary and her GPS make great navigators.\u00a0 We made it from the airport t the hotel in under an hour, even with the construction work on the freeway GPS did not know about!<\/p>\n

I got myself a seniors GPS.\u00a0 Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.<\/h3>\n

I’ve decided I’m dressing in a costume for Christmas.\u00a0 I’m going to wear a fleece jacket, show off pictures of kids and carry a GPS navigation unit.\u00a0 I’m going as……ready for this…are you sure… FLEECE NAVI-DAD.<\/h3>\n

By 11:33 PM local time, we were ready for bed; Mary was reading, and I finished today’s daily diary.<\/p>\n
