Send travel agent URGENT request for tickets.<BR/><BR/>Friday: No response from travel agent. Call them, complain, get ticket options for Monday night flight. Get managers approval, ask agent to book.<BR/><BR/>Sunday: Leave cell phone at Mom's house<BR/><BR/>Monday: Get stuck late at work. Last minute call to Mom to drop off phone. Rush home. While driving realise I didn't print my eticket, then realise travel agent never sent me an eticket, no cell phone yet, can't call agent. Get home, get cell phone, pack bags, shower, change, grab passports, call agent, leave URGENT message, rush to airport.En route call agency emergency number, get eticket number. <BR/>Arrive at airport, go to check in counter, "Sorry Mam we can't see your booking on the system". Call agent back, try new eticket number. "We still can't find your ticket, try the ticketing office". Try ticketing office. "sorry Mam the name on your ticket is different to your name on your passport!" I'd taken the wrong passports, the ones with my maiden name :-( Hang on, "I have a copy of my marriage certificate on my PC. Can I print that?" Yes they say but the closest printers are in the Domestice terminal. Run to Domestic terminal, find Postnet, buy memeory sick, transfer doc to memory stick, print, run back to International terminal. Check in, very happy! <BR/>Get to check in gate. "Excuse me, would you mind swapping seats so a family can be together?" No prob, get moved to new seat in Economy Plus, even happier!<BR/><BR/>Get onto airplane. Flight delayed 3hours... someone was "too sick" to travel, gets off plane, takes 3 hours to unload find his baggage and reload baggage. <BR/><BR/>Tuesday: Arrive in London, 2 hours late, at the same time as another flight from SA. Bags from both flights get mixed & then split over 2 carosels. Watch Carosel #1, no bag, run to Carosel #5, watch, no bag, back to #1, watch, no bag, #5, find bag!<BR/>Get bus to hotel, crash on bed, exhausted!<BR/><BR/>A fabulous trip, I thought of you often!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34552736.post-8699532738091043662008-01-11T10:52:00.000+02:002008-01-11T10:52:00.000+02:00What a coincidence, I'm sure I was once taunted by...What a coincidence, I'm sure I was once taunted by a monkey doing what he called some sort of Mills celebration dance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34552736.post-78240337501060089542008-01-11T09:08:00.000+02:002008-01-11T09:08:00.000+02:00Unlucky Koeks!Was so awesome to catch-up and have ...Unlucky Koeks!<BR/><BR/>Was so awesome to catch-up and have a skandaal session on Tues lady.
