As I mentioned last week on my blog, I am not home this week. (That is the reason for the lack of posts lately.) I had a free airline ticket and decided to visit friends from college who live in Ft. Lauderdale. I'm not a big beach person, and in fact other than SEEING the ocean, I haven't been to the beach.
Well, I was to fly out this morning from Miami. But the airline asked for people who would be willing to be bumped in exchange for a $400 travel voucher. Of course, I was more than willing. When there were some problems encountered getting me to my final destination tonight, I offered to fly out tomorrow. That worked for them, and I am now spending another night in Ft. Lauderdale with my friends.
I am super excited about my flight voucher. It *is* an inconvenience. I had to have my friends make another trip to Miami. Now, I fly out of Ft. Lauderdale at 6:30 in the morning. I will be in not three but four airports tomorrow, but because I have been wanting to make another trip, I consider this money in my pocket since I would have bought that plane ticket.
Not only did I get a plane ticket, but the airline gave me lunch as well.
Now I wonder if I can get bumped tomorrow and be able to make it home tomorrow evening. Ha ha!
