Life can be a real riot! Here are a few experiences and observations that (mostly) give me a chuckle:
In choosing my next leased car, I'm looking to downsize slightly. The sales guy warned me that the shoulder space and leg room -especially in the back seat- is a little less... 1" to 2" to be exact. He laughed when I said, "Anyone that rides in my back seat is doing so for 15 minutes on average - and every one of them spends at least 10 hours per month in a cramped airline seat."
A person I had just met, not knowing that I own a travel agency, was bragging about the kick-ass air fare she and her mother found on line for a trip to Europe. She said that the fact that they had a quadruple connection (Minneapolis, Chicago, JFK, Madrid, Rome) didn't bother them because they were in no hurry and it would be a fun adventure. (To each their own, eh?) Knowing their exact routing and dates, I had someone in our office check fares. Well, they DID save money... we found Minneapolis/Atlanta/Rome but it was $144 higher per person, round trip.
A client who works in our building booked a trip to London for herself and an old college sorority sister. She called back a half hour later and said, "I don't know if this makes a difference, but Ann lives in Indianapolis."
Travel Well!
