Horse just in case you are out there this one is for you.
This last trip I only put together 2 sections of it. I am always the travel agent even though I am not a travel agent. This time I said no no no. There are 3 of you 1 of me (plus I did not want to go). The part I handled went fine. The rest did not go so smoothly. I must do a pretty good job for something I do not get paid to do.
Their reasoning for me taking care of things is because I manage to get the best deals. I usually find a way. That is true. Even better then a travel agent gets.
Anyway, I had not even looked at the type of planes or arrival times or even stopovers until the trip got close. In the past when I took care of things if the plane could go straight through with no stops that is the one I took. I assumed they did this. Wrong, the stop was in Atlanta so this I did know. I did not look how long though until at the airport we were departing from. The brilliant ones who will remain nameless of course took a flight with a 5 hour layover.
I usually would not say anything because that would be pointless and I am not the type to complain about something I could have taken care of myself or something I cannot change. I did say something like oh boy a 5 hour layover in Atlanta now that is fun.
So, the response back was hey wait this should be good though because look at the itinerary. We leave the airport in FL with no stopovers and it is a straight through flight. I looked at the paperwork and could not help myself. It showed Fl to where I live with no stops that is true. I said okay who was the bright one who cannot add? There is a 3 hour time difference which means by these times we are stopping and we are stopping for 6, yes 6 hours somewhere on the way home. We should get to know that airport real well.
I know horse, fluoz would say "focus tth" so of course you should know horse no sooner did we get seated on the plane and yes we are seated together
I barely glanced that way before the "shut up" was said.
Coming home same thing except they could not seat us together so I am thinking whew something different. No, the plane had 2 seats, aisle, then 3 seats, aisle, then 2 seats. We were seated in between an aisle right across from each other.
I was seated then a man and then a woman. The man looked rather uncomfortable and he said something to the woman. I did not hear everything and I was not trying to but I heard something about he was suppose to have the aisle seat. Of course I then said "sir, is there a problem with your seat? Did you want this aisle seat of mine?" He looked so relieved I almost started laughing. He said "yes, please I am claustrophobic and I really need the aisle seat". I said "no problem you can have it". I thought he was going to kiss me at first. He then looked at the woman but I did not hear what he said. So I asked "are you both together and if so we can change these 3 seats however you want". She then looked relieved and said "I do not like the window seat and yes I would be so grateful to have that middle seat". I said "okay done". I should be home free you would think huh?
Oh no, we are changing seats and as soon as we all 3 get situated (the plane was full by the way) the person who shall remain nameless that I am with says really loud- I swear everyone on the plane heard- "if she talks just tell her to shut up".
So of course I just could not do nothing. I said just as loud back. "Sir do I know you". The people on the plane figured out and started laughing as I kept my straight face.
That one was in your honor horse.
With this story I will leave and return at a later time.
