I couldn't have asked for anything more out of my vacation. Having a Secret Agent Man for a husband really paid off on the trip home.
Our suitcase weighed 15 pounds heavier on return than it did on arrival. Can anyone say "chocolate-covered macadamias?" The airline rep told us that it would cost an extra $80.00 to check the suitcase. S.A.M nicely agreed, I don't think they were asking permission. When the rep tried to apply the charge, the computer wouldn't take it, because the computer knew something she didn't, she asked, "Mr. Secret Agent Man, are you a Gold Medallion?"
He replied, "Why, yes I am."
The rep, "I am sorry, Mr. Secret Agent Man, Gold Medallions don't have to have to pay extra for over-weight bags."
Me, in my head, "I should say not!! Who are you calling an over-weight bag, you snipe?!"
Minutes later when we arrived at Security there was a long line.
Me, in my head again, " Sigh. I hate waiting."
S.A.M then pointed out that there was an express lane through Security for "The Golds." Hooray! I wonder if heaven is like this?
When we arrived at our gate we were called up to the desk, "Mr. and Mrs. Secret Agent Man, we are trying to accomodate some extra passengers. Would you mind if we moved you up to First Class?"
In my head, "Woot! Woot! Righteous livin'! Oh yeah!"
S.A.M said, "That will be fine."

FIRST! Who loves you mostest??
ReplyDeleteSAM rocks. Can we take him with us on our next vacation??
ReplyDeletePS. I'm glad you made it home safely.
SAM is so blase.
ReplyDelete"That would be fine".
I have flown first class once in my life. You know what? I got there the same time as everyone else. The only thing was I got a warm washcloth--it wasn't like I was going to enjoy the free alcohol just 'cause it was free.
I'm short. I don't need extra leg room. The potties are still too small and freaky if there's unexpected turbulence.
Glad you're home safe and sound!
Can we schedule SAM for our next plane flight?
ReplyDeleteI think My DH is a Gold guy too:) but when I have the trouble is when I travel alone w/ all my high maintenance stuff ----- go go first class
ReplyDeleteYeah! GOLD!!!!
ReplyDeleteGold is #1.
I'm glad even the end of your fabulous trip was awesome :)
Yay for Gold Medallions! I'll bet it felt great to be treated like that! :)
ReplyDeleteYay for S.A.M.! That is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your had such a wonderful trip. :)
Secret Agent Man - don't leave home without him.
ReplyDeleteFWIW - I have your SAME SUNGLASSES! Clearly, we are destined to be BFFs.
well. for it being over, you certainly got the sweet treatment. welcome back to the land of the tanless.
ReplyDeleteSo that's where all of my good luck and good fortune went! You were in line in heaven before me and they somehow gave you mine and yours!!
ReplyDeleteI WANT MINE BACK!
That's my dream trip through the airport. Go SAM!
ReplyDeleteWow... first class. That IS righteous.
ReplyDeleteLove the "Gold" treatment!!
ReplyDelete"Who are you calling an over-weight bag, you snipe?!"
ReplyDeleteTHAT made me laugh.
Welcome home.
I have a shiny gold shirt I could wear at the airport....would you still stand by me if I wore it?
ReplyDelete"Hooray! I wonder if heaven is like this?" I think that only holds true if you're on the arm of SAM, he's got all the sweet hook ups.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the best vacation EVER!! yeah
ReplyDeleteI got your cute postcard and it made my day :)
Thank you for the lovely postcard and birthday wishes!
ReplyDeleteThe cost of Gold is steep, but the benefits are priceless.
ReplyDelete(Secretly hoping Ted is a Secret Agent Man and I just don't know it yet)
ReplyDeleteOH...MY...GOODNESS! You do live a charmed life, my dear! :D
