Ok, here we are 27,077 feet cruising at 391 miles an hour. I know this how? Well I have my GPS stuck to the window in the airplane :> Big fun. We stopped at the bar in the airport and hung out with some travels. We found out that one guy that was going to Portland Oregon did not have to pay for his bag AND he brought a bunch of carpentry tools. We got whacked $15 a piece for our ski bags even though Marlo checked it out and did not think we should. She called while we were “relaxing” at the bar. She found out that indeed they were supposed to be free… She is going to mail in the receipts… She had a big beer and had to pee twice so far on the plane :> BUT in doing so found an empty row at the back of the plane where we got to have some room.
She told the flight attendant that I was a pain in the butt because I thanked the gate guy for something… hmmmm…. One of us is got this travel thing down. So far I have supplied her with ear plugs (two different sets because she did not like the first pair) and headphones that I “saved “from our last flight. They did not pass any out on this flight… I am hungy… I have to check to see if they feed us anything on the next flight. The next flight is actually on the same plane…
We had the usual ear-piercing airport cart go by… arg, and the real reason for the earplugs are these some humanoids that make lots of noise and these other people yattering in some foreign language…
I loaded the Rosetta Stone on eeepc (this little pc) so we can practice French for our March trip. I don’t want to be the irritating one speaking a foreign language on that trip…. But will be :>
I just checked the itinerary … no food on this plane… we tried to upgrade to first class but apparently we had the wrong letter in the “class” field and could not upgrade… what-up-with-that???? It’s not like we asked for it for free…. Hmmmm.
We have to get frequent flyer cards so we can get the miles…. I almost forgot my extra battery and the charger for the camera!!!!!!!! Duh! I did know exactly where it was though…. Good thing someone did not move it :>
OMG………..I did not think you were leaving until Tuesday the 6th……..hence my voice mail message for safe journeys on the 5th.
Sorry about that.
I am glad you are already out there…….what with the forecast and all.
Have fun…….I know you will and be safe.
Love, Mom
