The Joys of Air travel

[laurap]

Did anyone else have as much fun as we did coming home?

Got stuck on late flights and had to switch. I was happy that they let us, then delayed in Toronto, barely made our flight in Vancouver (they had to hold the plane) and then got notice that our luggage didn't make it to Kelowna. I was delivered today, minus my big suitcase.
So I have a towel and Bath and Body works stuff.
At least I smell good.

So anyone travelling Air Canada: Remember their motto:
We're not happy, unless you are not happy.

laura I am sorry they have not found your big bag. I am sure it is wandering about somewhere. But at least you have gifts!!!

Hey there BNLater
After a good nights sleep. I am very grateful that I made it home safe and sound and even though the bag mishap sucks, I am refusing to let it alter what a wonderful experience I had on the ship. Seriously, how many people can say that they went snorkelling with stingrays and The Odds??? Not many (besides the rest of the people on the tour )(haha). Work was pretty tough on Saturday but I made it, and I have a full week ahead of me. I am going to try again today to see if I can get anywhere with Air Canada and my bag, if not, I guess I get a lot of new stuff.

Hey all
I went back to the airport today and they had my suitcase. Whoo hoo. It was on its way to Vernon. SOO glad to have it back. So I worried for nothing. The people at the baggage claim were wonderful and very nice, too bad I can't say the same about their telephone support staff. Oh well it is done. I am doing laundry and getting ready to go to work.

Hey, guys!

We actually had a smooth trip back, thank heaven - we managed to get to the horrid Miami airport just in time to catch an earlier flight out that was only half full, and left on time. Shock, amazement! Our actual flight was delayed almost three hours, so it was very good luck that we made it out when we did.

What an amazing trip. When did that jam session finally wind up? I slunk off to bed at around 4:15.

It was fantastic seeing all of you. Glad everyone's bags seem to be showing up and that we are all home safe and sound. Hazel the dog was ecstatic to see me, Linnea was delighted, and even Bridget cracked a smile. Now to get through all that laundry and get everyone psyched for the week ahead...

Reality is definitely not as fun as Ships and Dip!

Someone said it ended at 5am. I too left around 4ish. I knew it was bad when I was falling asleep on the lido deck. As much as I enjoyed the jam session, it was obnoxious and loud and the thought that ANYONE could fall alseep infront of those speakers....is crazy!

Miss ya all!

mob the jam session had pretty much reduced itself to sheer chaos when we left at 3:45 ish. I am glad everyone is home and getting resettled. I am trying to dig out from my desk!!

I enjoyed the Chaos of the jam
They were just having a great time fooling around, but we could see everyone deteriorating, and I saw a lot of guys without their pants.

laura I loved the general fooling around, but when we left there was like three songs at once often times and it was impossible to figure out. I do not believe that pants were gone by the time we left.

That jam went until 4:45 am! Steve actually plugged the plug saying he had promised to wrap it up before getting into Miami. We could see Miami as they finished the last song, it was great. Then of course having to be off the boat with Flipper and PM at 7 am, we opted to shower and have breakfast instead of sleeping at all. Made for a fun trip home!

I enjoyed the chaos as well. Especially constantly waving at us and giving us the thumbs up! And the whole pants thing was fun. We never saw Jim's pants go down, but we caught him pulling them up as he was about to leave the stage.

Awesome!!


Hey Binskki I love the new picture!! that's great!
