Dream a little dream of me...

Model of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner

I recently attended an Expedia Corporate Travel and Northwest Airlines event at the Boeing Customer Experience Center in Renton, Washington. One word: WOW! (yes, worthy of all caps and an exclamation point).

What impressed me about the venue is how after one step into the building, you realized you're walking toward the future of the aircraft industry. It's what I've always imagined 21st century travel would look like. We toured several aircraft mockups, including the new generation 747-800 and the star of the show, the 787 Dreamliner.  I believe travelers have a lot to look forward to.

My photography skills don't do the plane's interior justice.

After my tour of the 787 Dreamliner, I'd have to say that this plane could make being stranded on the tarmac for several hours a pleasant experience.
