Zero Gs

You know that feeling when you're driving fast over dips and small hills in a road and your stomach free falls for a split second? That's kinda how I feel right now.

I got to the airport today with plenty of time to make my flight, no rush. For some strange reason though my boarding pass said, "seat request" so I went up to the counter at the gate and the ladies behind it said, "please just wait till we call your name."

So I waited, until all the passengers were on the plane...something was obviously not working in my favor so I went back up to the desk and asked what was going on and if I could get on the flight now.

"We're sorry, this flight was overbooked and there's no more room for you. You'll have to leave tomorrow." That's what I heard in answer to my inquiries.

"Great" I thought. So Cassandra, the lady helping me, worked it all out and got me a confirmed flight at the same time for tomorrow. In my head I'm thinking well, you just gotta roll with it I guess.

Then came the good news...who knew there would be good news after all that? $800 was being returned to me for my trouble with the flight. "Yes! It doesn't get much better than that..." I thought, an $800 refund AND a flight the next day?! As we walked to the rebooking desk though, she dropped the bomb on me....

I'm going to be flying first class tomorrow!

I'm not sure why it all worked out the way it did, and while it may have been inconvenient to have my flight overbooked, the end result is fantastic.

I wish I could draw some amazing life lesson from this but my brain is so dead and off the train track of time right now that all I can say is, "sweet! Thank you God. Thanks for an unexpected gift in disguise."

This was just an update, but you could say the moral of the story is never judge a book by it's cover. Sometimes the most unexpected and frustrating things turn out to be the most wonderful.

Thank you all for your prayers.
I wish you the most Merry of Christmases and a very Happy New Year!
