Okay. . .
To preface, i am having a GREAT time. Actually, a REALLY GREAT time.
The ride home has been very interesting. Oh, did i mention that we never made it home?? Two of my traveling companions, who must remain nameless lest they get heckled a bit, and i are worried that we have been cursed. First, the boss and i completely missed our flight out Portland. Its not like we were even close. . .we TOTALLY missed it. When we did finally get to the airport, we met "R". He tooled on us pretty hard for being twits and missing our flight.
We were supposed to leave Sunday, and be home Sunday. Because of spring break in Oregon, the next available flight (that wasn't already overbooked) was due out Thursday. After an hour of haggling the boss managed to squeeze us onto a plane out of Seattle. . . . Um. . .that's in Washington, not Oregon. So we had to hoof it to Washington. Guess what. . .The trains were all full. The buses were having problems and renting a car was just out of the question - prohibitively expensive. Not good.
But the boss with his infinite patience and charm managed to finally get us on a bus north. . . barely.
So here i sit in a hotel in Seattle watching the news about two plane crashes, and severe blizzard and tornado warnings just over our flight path and near our layover in Chicago!!
Oh and "R", the one who heckled us?? Yea, his plane had to make an emergency landing because a flight attendant found a "suspected explosive device" in the plane's bathroom. He missed his connection!!
(Laugh at us will you!)
