travel
Monday, September 18th, 2006first off, i would like to give major thanks to b-hood and her boy tito. as i was traveling this weekend, they took care of my three girls in the highest of fashion. all reports i received were excellent and it sounds like they had some major fun with tea parties, pizza, and seafood!
this weekend i traveled from waco to seattle for the baylor vs. wsu football game. the game is not worth mentioning, but quest field was cool. the weather was beautiful and seattle is a place i would like to explore some more.
on the way back my itinerary had some unexpected changes. i consider myself a patient traveler. i am usually not in a hurry and accept change pretty well. when i got to the airport at 5 am (pacific), i discovered that my 6 am flight had been delayed until 7:30. nice! i discovered later that american airlines called my wife at home at 1:45 am (3 times!!!) to tell me that my flight was delayed. they also called my office once. i appreciate the effort, but that is a bit intrusive that early in the morning. once probably would have sufficed. i have now updated my numbers with AA to include my cell. seems kinda pointless for them to call my home or office since they know i’m in seattle!! i guess they were doing what they could.
luckily, my flight from dfw to waco was timed just far enough apart for me to make the run from plane (terminal a) to plane (terminal b).** unfortunately, my bag was not as fast! i made it home in the same amount of time and that was fine by me. getting my bag is an unfinished story. i called up until eleven last night for the computer to tell me they had not found it yet. (that’s some pretty impressive technology to have voice recognition walk me throught the menus and look for my record!)
all in all, it was a good trip, but i missed my weekend.
**i almost said i did a great oj simpson impression running through the airport for Hertz, but oj’s image is not what it used to be.
