Trip to the USA

Well this started off without much trouble until I arrived into Sydney with two bags and two carry-ons yes I know!! Well it was a time that should have been captured by video, me trying to lift two HEAVY suitcases onto the bus to take me to International, me lifting and NOTHING happening!!!.  Then when I finally got to International I was told I didnt have an E ticket and I wouldnt be able to travel to the US.  I said to the lovely lady oh no I havent seen my grandchildren for 3 yrs,well after a few cell calls to Mel and her to Karen in the US I was FINALLY on that plane and NOT budging!  Well Business Class is another world , lovely food, service and best of all LAYING down, I was in heaven!!!.  They even gave me a pair of Jamas.

The trip went well until Dallas,Texas my plane was an hour late so I missed the connecting plane,then the next plane had engine trouble and YADA YADA YADA, so I was put on the last flight out that night, so I decided to try Starbucks pumpkin spice coffee, I had the 2 carry ons so decided to balance the coffee on one and yes you guessed it!!!  To my horror and embarresment it fell and didnt just spill on the floor it flew ALL over the Starbucks floor, I tapped the staff member on the back and said excuse me but Im soooo sorry Ive dropped my coffee, she sort of gasped and called for a mop.  I must have looked so mortified that they felt sorry for me and gave me another one.

Well I made sure it was safe and proceeded to find a chair and continued my wait enjoying that Starbucks.  Finally on the plane and arrived at the house at 1am in the morning tired but relieved to be finally home!!!!!
