While at the airport in St. Thomas I got to hang out with a few of the comics from the other cruise lines. Listening to the stories these guys have was great. Ed opened for Andrew Dice Clay for 100 shows and toured all over the US. When Dice was at his most famous apparently he would tip servers $500 if the service was good, but would pay his opener $100 a show.
Today on American Airlines flight 625 I met one of the best flight attendants ever. She must be in her mid 50’s, with short grey hair and the most wonderful attitude I have ever seen on a plane. This was one of those flights were everyone brought 2 carry on bags so all the overhead storage was filled and people were still getting on the plane. This is where I weep for society in general. It is a simple solution, if everyone puts their purse/knapsack/ laptop bag under the seat in front of them, there will be room for everyones stuff. While people were bitching and moaning in comes Debra with a smile and is able to deal with situation AND have everyone laughing.
Embarrassing moment on the plane... I was listening to my iPod so I couldn’t heard any announcements they were making. So when I see a flight attendant with a bag walking down the aisle I assume it is for garbage. NOPE! I almost put my empty water bottle into a Unicef bag. Now I HAVE to put money in... so I whipped out an American $5 bill and placed it in.
TRAVEL TIP: If you are going to look at your vacation pictures on your iPad or laptop on the flight, you might want to think about moving the naked pictures of your wife/girlfriend to a different file. That being said; a BIG thank you to Jim and Tara for inspiring this travel tip.
