At home with Sophie
Today is the first day after my daughter came back from her little trip to Colombia. It's amazing how kids can change in only a few days. Right now she pays more attention when I talk to her, her voice changed a little and she is also more observant and can concentrate for a longer time. I love days as today when I can spend my time with my daughter at home watching her in her daily routine and learning about her ways of discovering the world and approaching it.

Bag Dinamics
Have you ever wonder what happens to your check bags after the counter agent puts them on that belt?
After the bags leave the ticket counter area, they go trough a screening process where they are checked and inspected, then they arrive via another belt to a pier where some people take them and arrange them in accordance to their destination and flight number. When the time for departure is almost an hour away, there's a guy that takes the bags to the plane where three other guys load them into the aircraft (this is an ideal situation because in a busy day might be different) so we can have our bags when we arrive to our destination. A busy flight may be somewhere in between 100 to 140 bags, and the funny part about this count is that with the price of checking only four bags, a company pays the whole day to one of these people.
Do you feel that the price you pay to check your bags reflect the real cost of it?

Starting my blog
Reading was one of my greatest hobbies when I was a little bit younger, but it was until I recently read Seth Godin's book "Linchpin" that finally decided to start sharing my ideas with all of you, so I (but I really meant we) can start generating the change that my (and again I meant ours) live deserve.
I remember a very interesting quote that I read from my brother's Facebook wall and I would like to share it with you.
"Be the change that you want to see in your world"
I really hope that my lizard brain doesn't start yelling soon and the resistance will not stop me from sharing this precious gift with you.
P.S: Excuse my English ;)
Stay tuned beacuse since today as David Guetta's song "The world is mine" (...sorry again, I meant ours)
