The Tour

It might be a miracle that I have found the time to blog again this week... or might be that I am sick and not feeling like myself today...

I have mentioned before that I am a fan of Fabulous Customer Service.  I had a terrible encounter with a not so nice lady yesterday... I don't understand why people hire rude employees.  I prayed for the woman this morning.  One monkey don't stop no show... I told the devil to get behind me because I have too much going on to be bothered by foolishness...  Enough about that!

So I went HOME last Thursday.....  I worked until 1 and then went home to pack and clean up before I headed to the south.  I had looked at the weather beforehand and knew that there was a chance for thunderstorms.  Kay May warned me when I was sitting in the Airport about the severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings.  I knew but I didn't know what to expect.  My flight to Denver was great, no problems.  My flight from Denver into HOME left on time.  The pilots told us that yes there were storms but we should not have any problems.  All was well until about 30 minutes before the flight should have landed.  The pilots told us that we were waiting to start our descent because of the storms.  Again- NO problem.  We finally started descending... 5 minutes before we should have been on the ground the stewardist (does society still call them that?) gets on the intercom and says that the pilot has decided to turn around because the weather has turned bad quick....  I was extremely happy to have a pilot to know when to turn around...  I was not prepared for the rest.  We diverted to Tulsa Oklahoma.  We landed safely (Thank you Lord).  I should also mention that I'm not a fan of flying.  Because I live so far from family and friends, I have to fly if I want to see them.  I have learned to live with it.  I don't hate it anymore and I give God the glory on that one.  I know that when I am in the clouds, air, WHEREVER!, that he is keeping me safe.  I Trust HIM!  Anywho, we landed in Tulsa to wait for the storm to pass before heading back to our original destination.  We were on the ground for about 20 minutes before Top Flight Security, Airport Security pull up in their trucks with their lights shining inquiring about emergency landing.  They really expected the pilot to open the plane's door.  Our stewardist, Bryan, was wonderful.  He was full of jokes and tried to take care of us.  There was a man who was a row over from me who was HORRIBLE.  He kept complaining about wanting to drink (Bryan could not give him an alcoholic beverage because we were on the ground- Apparently airlines only have licenses to serve liquor when in the air!)  The rude man also kept playing his loud ring tones that were very inappropriate.  I called Sannie as soon as we landed in Tulsa and told her about what had happened.  She was so glad that I was Safe.  She waited for me at the airport for 3 hours!  That's love!  We finally got refueled and landed safely at our intended destination at 1:45AM.  I should have been there at 10:45PM.  The flight should have only lasted for 1 hour and 30 minutes. 

Hope that you are haivng a GREAT day.... more from me later
