First decision of the trip- flight over booked, I so wanted to press that volunteer button. BUT....we have a direct flight, we are checking a bag, and it is a long journey ahead. So reluctantly, I exited out of that option. So out of character for me.
And so it begins,no plane at gate, flight delayed. When we finally board I see a person ,larger than life in our row. I am wedged between her and my husband and the seat doesn't recline, seven sardine can hours, no sleep, her body mass invades the little space I have.... I watch Chef and hunger for a Cuban sandwich, instead Delta appeases me with yogurt and crumb cake....

Girlfriend,we have to love all people big and small. I must admit I have been chuckling imagining you trying to open the lid of your sardine can. Amazing travels about to begin.
