She is Fed!

Well, after not making her 6 am flight due to a broken airplane I spent hours on the phone trying to get Vicki to Northern California!  You would think there would be a flight from either Jacksonville (where we were) or New Bern (45 minutes away) or Wilmington (an hour away) or Raleigh (2 hours away) to San Francisco, Oakland, or Sacramento!!!  I was willing to drive her where ever there happened to be just one seat available!  It wasn't like it was our entire family, just one seat for Vicki!  But, no!!!  The lame person at the ticket counter at the airport where her airplane was broken said there was nothing.  He refused to look at his computer or even make a phone call, just told me there was not one single flight from any of those airports in NC or any airports in Northern California that would have a seat available.  Yes, i took down his name. I seriously doubted he knew that kind of information.  Sure enough, by the time i got thru to a person on the phone there had been 2 flights out of New Bern she could have caught had he picked up the phone when i was talking to him, but now one was already in the air and the other one we wouldn't get there in time as well as we had already missed one in Wilmington but there was one that we could make if we left right that minute!  We did, we left and went thru the drive thru to get the poor girl some food since now it was 1 o'clock and she would have already been just about in California by now! She wanted McDonald's. Vicki made this cute picture and sent it to my phone.  She really knows how to make me laugh! Of course she didn't get to California until midnight, San Francisco and had been laid over in Philadelphia with the possibility of not getting on an overbooked flight which i spent a great deal of time on the phone for that leg of the journey as well!  The guy who worked ticketing at the airport we started at got quite the complaint turned in from me and i don't think we will fly that airline EVER again!!! But Vicki was atleast able to get fed before her long journey of many stops across the U S of A!!!
