But wait, there's more!

Still in Philadelphia. *insert silly grin here*

So here's what happened. We got on the plane in Philly. And then we find out that US Air had some problems (okay, MAJOR problems) and overbooked the flight. So this poor woman and her 3-year-old daughter got split up - the little girl got a seat, but her mother didn't. And there was no way that was going to work.

So I gave up my seat, in return for a hotel room for last night, an upgrade to first class today, vouchers for dinner, breakfast and lunch AND a free roundtrip ticket good to anywhere in the US for one year. Which means I have my ticket to VA and back in September. And the 3-yr-old didn't have to travel alone.

Argus went back on the plane last night, with all our luggage. All I had was my laptop bag, with no clean clothes in it. Luckily, I found a pair of clean underwear that I had stashed in there (yay!) and someone was doing a credit card signup this morning, so I got a clean t-shirt. It's white, and my bra is dark blue, but I don't care. It's clean.

I am quite the fashion plate. :D

So I shall be home today, rather than yesterday. I shall pack tonight, while watching the Red Sox sweep the Yankees from this weekend (yay, DVR!). And I shall go tomorrow to get hubby's car from Worcester.

I'm so glamorous - it kills me. :P

ETA #1: The plane is delayed. Color me shocked.

Good call on the DVR.

Excellent call. I'll say no more about the games. Mine lips are sealed, zipped, shut.

Hehe - I caught some of the highlights, but cannot WAIT to watch the games.

Man that makes me want to run to my nearest airport, find an overbooked flight, and give someone my seat!

Guess it helps if you have one first, though. :D Safe travel and that was super sweet of you. So good to see a good deed well rewarded!

Four home runs in a row (which I saw as it happened on ESPN) and a sweep over the Evil Empire. Boo-yah.

Ah - the rest of the story :D

How can the airline evern think that a child could travel alone.

But good that you got the upgrade and a roundtrip ticket, plus food vouchers.

Hope you do actually make it home.
