11/24/07 We are Better Than Leftovers!!! Nana Head reunion Part 4

[pgfour]

I thought some of these were cute.


These are actual stories from travel agents about their moronic customers...

Someone ask for an aisle seat so that his or her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (probably blonde)

A client called in inquiring about a package to Hawaii. After going over all the cost info, she asked, "Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii?"

I got a call from a man who asked, "Is it possible to see England from Canada?" I said, "No." He said "But they look so close on the map."

Another man called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas. When I pulled up the reservation, I noticed he had a 1-hour layover in Dallas. When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, "I heard Dallas was a big airport and I need a car to drive between the gates to Save time."

A nice lady just called. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:20am and got into Chicago at 8:33am. I tried to explain that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois, but she could not understand the concept of time zones. Finally I told her the plane went very fast, and she bought that!

A woman called and asked, "Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know who's luggage belongs to who?" I said, "No, why do you ask?" She replied, "Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said FAT, and I'm overweight, is there any connection?" After putting her on hold for a minute while I "looked into it" (I was actually laughing) I came back and explained the city code for Fresno is FAT, and that the airline was just putting a destination tag on her luggage.

I just got off the phone with a man who asked, "How do I know Which plane to get on?" I asked him what exactly he meant, which he replied, "I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these darn planes have numbers on them.

A woman called and said, "I need to fly to Pepsi-cola on one of those computer planes." I asked if she meant to fly to Pensacola on a commuter plane. She said, "Yeah, whatever."

A businessman called and had a question about the documents he needed in order to fly to China. After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded him he needed a visa. "Oh no I don't, I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those." I double checked and sure enough, his stay required a visa. When I told him this he said, "Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express.
"
A woman called to make reservations, "I want to go from Chicago to Hippopotamus, New York." The agent was at a loss for words. Finally, the agent: "Are you sure that's the name of the town?" "Yes, what flights do you have?" replied the customer. After some searching, the agent came back with, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a Hippopotamus anywhere." The customer retorted, "Oh don't be silly. Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!" The agent scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, "You don't mean Buffalo, do you?"

My kids love the internet, and they keep track of their passwords by writing them on Post-it notes.

I noticed their Disney site password was "MickeyMinnieGoofyPluto," and so I asked why it was so long.

"Because," my son explained, "they say it has to have at least four characters."

That's priceless!

Last night Jessalyn was reading to me and came across the word "Malibu." She paused and looked at me like she heard of it before. I said that's where some of the Barbie's are from.

She said, "No, that's the name of the booze you buy."

See Brit, I'm learnin' fast!

Okay...I need help with my carry on...

I am just packing it...so far I have:

What else should I make sure I have? I am not going to bother to carry on dinner clothes as we have the late seating anyway...

Just checked weather...so far it looks like it is going to be fairly nice out next Saturday...

Other than the documents, I have included to your list

Camera
Lanyards for the boys cards
some seasickness stuff
binoculars

HEY LADIES ... do you mind if we change the Ladies Meet on Sunday from Cove Cafe to the Outlook Bar? We'll do Cove if the weather doesn't cooperate.

Twist my arm. . .

If it's sunny, I DON'T want to be sitting inside. . .

Hi Cheri
Hi Shell
Hi Jaime

So given the fact that we are having the ENTIRE family over for THanksgiving , am I even more nuts to think that I can get the Christmas decorations down this weekend and take care of a lot of that? In addition to packing?

Hi Jeff!

I say do it!!! Why not -- out of chaos comes order, or more chaos -- one of the two!

 

[dsparks]

Like I mentioned before, Greg should become a coal shoveler on board the Magic since the construction business is a bit slow. He'll have to change his DIS name to SHOVEL, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Of course, he may still be counting down the days till he can get off the ship. . .

Yeah, but he's not worried he's getting right back on in a few months!

 

[dsparks]

Hey, did you see what post that was!!!! I'm officially a Dis Veteran now!



Here's some bananas to celebrate

[pgfour]

HOORAY FOR DAWN!!!!

Hi Kathy! Checking in one more time. Had to get post #20 in!

Off to move more things off of the carpeting for carpet cleaning. It is amazing how many things there are on the floor when you have to move them all to another room!

Happy Day everyone!

I noticed Jeff didn't mention moving things. . .he IS helping, isn't he???

Hi Jeff!

Most likely more chaos if you knew how our house goes just before a vacation!

 

[pgfour]

Mutt did the exact same thing

[theostwalts]

[POOHWHORH]

Uh...Greg...Please give us a break here. You're talking about getting OFF the ship. You're gonna make us all cry. Now Mina has just started posting here. Don't scare her away!

But otherwise I love your sentiments...just STOP TALKING ABOUT THE CRUISE ENDING. I refuse to believe that is ever going to happen!

PLEASE
no more talk about getting off the ship


That is very sad for me. That is when we will all need a
