same food, different company

11.25.06 (5:50 pm) [edit]

We returned home today from Texas. I had the opportunity to meet Chris' family, and had a great time! I can't say that I know any of them well, or they me, but it has to start somewhere. High-strung is not a word I'd use to describe them. Maybe down-to-earth and friendly. Travel-story time!: Background: the trip was already short, 'cause we left Thanksgiving Day and returned two days later. Thanks-morning, we get to the airport maybe at 11 for the noonish flight. Our flights not listed on the screen at all. We check-in and all that- go to gate, and yes, we're told we're in the right place. Split a lunch. Time passes, kids play, and then we're told the plane is almost there- we should leave only a few minutes behind schedul! Great!! See tiny plane- people unload. Time passes. "Flight #### to MAJOR HUB, your flight has been delayed until 1:45- all incoming and outgoing traffic to is currently suspended due to weather." Not so good. This means we'll miss the connection and at best miss dinner w/ the fam and have a shortened trip. No thanks. Chris talks to agent and overhears someone going to Asia, who is given our Texan city as an optional route. We manage to exchange our tickets for ones on that direct flight. Praise God!! THEN, we go over there, and Chris checks w/ agent at that counter, to make sure things are good- that we're set, and it is 2 or 3 moniutes until another direct flight there is leaving, and she encourages us to hop on (with seats next to eachother, no less) and we end up at our destination city 2 1/2 hours before our original plans! Fast forward to our return flight. We go to check-in, and our itineraries are not found, 'cause our original plans had not been cancelled or altered to reflect reality, so they thought we hadn't come and didn't need a return flight. Not good. Fortunately, there was room on our original flight, and we made it on. Not only that, but we'd had seats 3 rows apart initially, and when the whole rescheduling thing happened, we not only got seated next to each other, but in an exit row!! Chris had enough leg room, and I had a good view out of the windows. We finished a good part of a crossword. So many details... So life is good, and I am happy, and hope that you are doing well.
