Jen Leo flys Virgin America with Richard Branson

Last week I took the inaugural Virgin America flight to San Diego. This airline does it right. They aim to be the funnest airline in town, and that they have become.  Richard—he's trying to change the world. I wish I had used my chance to talk to him, but I wanted to make sure all my equipment was working and used that time on the couple that met on VA. Then I got transfixed by Charles, the hunky creator of their in-flight entertainment system. And you know, an hour goes by fast!

I totally geeked out, twittering away - and you can read all about it on the L.A. Times Travel Blog. Here's another post of pics from the Virgin America arrival in San Diego. John met me in San Diego and we drove back to Vegas together. This was nice, but I was a little bit bummed I couldn't go to the Virgin America party at The Ivy hotel. Ah well, hopefully they'll ask me to their next launch.  There will be two more destinations opening up this year. I've got my fingers crossed one of them is Chicago.

CURRENT: Las Vegas
NEXT: San Diego (Feb. 27-March 5)

I absolutely adore Branson. I met him a few times when I worked for the Virgin Megastores and I thought he just had a beautiful energy and spirit about life.
