Actually OP is far from a saint. Ask those who know him. The report was written to inject a certain amount of humour in order to keep your interest. I guess that was a success although you seemed to have taken some of my comments literally.

Everything said about Marsha´s travel idiosyncracies are true. She says I embelish. We are presently sitting in the Santiago, Chile Neruda Lounge waiting for our flight to Lima, she has committed at least 7 other idiosyncratic actions since 0800 this morning. It is presently 1815 EDT here in Santiago. So in 10 hours she managed to do 7 annoying things including two minutes ago complaining that she cannot visit the restroom because I am not available to watch her carry on. The stall is too small for her and the bag. Do you repeatedly ask when the plane departs when you have a boarding pass in your hand? Do you complain that row 5 is adjacent to coach on this LAN 767 when the last airplane had a row six between you and coach? Do you ask how long it takes to get from Buenos Aires to Santiago when a week a ago it took 2 hours to go the other way?

BTW she flew over 100000 miles last year and about 70k so far this year yet cannot recognize the difference between a 747, 767 and A320 even with the emergency card in the seat pocket in front. Some of us just think differently. Thus being annoyed by this incessant action is part of our relationship. Yesterday she rushed me to stand in line for our flight from Iguazu to Buenos Aires because the plane was leaving, it just happened to be an earlier flight at another gate on another airline, but we had to be first.

So enjoy being a good wife who probably has her own booklet of annoyances to her husband. Isn´t that marriage. We are year 32.
