What a week this was. I was supposed to have worked in Denver from Monday to Friday. But, that itinerary changed last Friday afternoon…. FOUR different times…and in a matter of two hours that Friday afternoon! I did not know what I was going to be doing this past week AT ALL. When the fiasco finally died down, I wound up only being in Denver Wednesday night through last night. I flew out Wednesday evening, spent two nights and two days in the Denver office for work and then took the late flight back last night. We did not even get to the hotel on Wednesday night until after 12 midnight EST, so that night was shot. I did manage to meet up with two of my buddies from college on Thursday night- we had supper up in Boulder, CO. What a good time catching up! I have to say that my trip back to the airport and getting to the gate was relatively easy this trip- no hiccups. Once again, my seat was in Row 1 on Frontier (not 1st class- Frontier does not have 1st class). I had the aisle seat. And it was all good until my seatmates showed up…a young couple from Oregon…with a baby in tow. And then it happened. The breast-feeding. Yes, folks, this mother breast-fed her child MULTIPLE times during my 3 hour flight from hell… I could have died! Not only did I have to focus on the metal wall in front of me (don’t forget the front row has no view) so I would not be looking in her general direction, but I had to turn up my iPod to cover the feeding noises! And then some kid was flying alone in the other front row and he spent the entire flight practically screaming for the flight attendants every 5 minutes for something. He also delayed our take-off because he locked himself in the front restroom and would not come out. The flight attendants kept banging on the door and repeatedly telling him to come out and buckle up. I have to say the entire flight was quite annoying and I could not get off that plane fast enough.
Next week is another travel week for me and unfortunately a lot more complicated than this week was. Fly to El Paso and then drive to Albuquerque on Wednesday, fly to Denver and back from Albuquerque on Thursday, Albuquerque all day and night on Friday, and then fly back home on Saturday. Wow. That is all I can say about it.
