Thanks Mark.

Yep, getting all packed up now. My biggest dilemma tonight is trying to get my suitcase closed... I'm pretty sure I didn't come here with these many shoes and clothes :scratch

The flight home should be quicker, with the winds going on, we should jump on that jet stream and blow right across the country in about 4 hours :D

:airplane

one of the things Ray told us once was that airline pilots are cautioned never to use the phrase 'bucking headwinds'. :lol

...because, well...because some consonants just don't come across so well and people tend to substitute in others. :mg

So now Chelle, having bucked those headwinds on the flight out, you can just jump in the current and be carried happily back home. Have a smooth, easy flight, and...

it's only FOUR MORE WEEKS till you see Michael again!! :kiss

Barb...

I am a country boy at heart... so I have to ask...

What is a "consonants"?!?! :\

[xiknal]

are those things that help us distinguish 'vowels'...
from 'bowels'. :rolling

[Chelle]

Mark... what rhymes with "bucking"? :D

[Passenger Mark]

Hmmm... I don't know.... "ducking"... so what is wrong with "ducking headwinds"???

ha ha ha Nevermind!

I think we will leave it here as to not start another flashlight in the trash can thread! :shocked

[Chelle]

Uuuh, yeah, ducking... that's right :nod

:p

[xiknal]

ah, yes...the vernacular expression for descending to a lower altitude to seek more favorable winds...:rolling

[Chelle]

Well, I'm about ready to make like a duck and 'flock off'

har har!! :kneeslap

I've already taken an Ativan (can you tell? :D ) We'll be leaving for the airport in about 90 minutes. My flight gets out at 11:50. I plan to taken another Ativan just before I board, and I didn't get a lot of sleep last night so hopefully I'll be able to crash for a coupla hours....

Thanks in advance to anyone who's able to track me.

See you guys later tonight!!! :wave

Chelle said, without batting an eye:

so hopefully I'll be able to crash for a coupla hours....

y'know, a lot of us fearfuls would never mention 'crashing' in the context of flying, because we have this thing about a jinx. But obviously :happyguy it didn't bother you a bit!

:tiphat :tiphat :tiphat

You are doin' great! I wish I could track, but gotta be away from the computer much of the afternoon. Have a wonderful flight home!


hmm...on ducks...is it a flock of ducks? a pack of ducks? a gaggle? or just a bunch?:chicken <--chicken standing in for duck

[Passenger Mark]

Thanks Chelle! You will do great!

[Chelle]

D'oh! :doh , okay... 'crash' was probably a poor choice of words :blush :

I blame it on the drugs :p
