My son said it was going to Munich. Well what the heck,we were there to spend a weekend together in Paris, so let's just switch the tickets to Munich!Done! We were pretty exited flying together on "Dad's plane!" Here we are toasting each other with pre-departure champaigne as the door is closing and I look out the window and see that the next gate over..the flight to Frankfurt,is oh boy.....yeah "Dad's plane".....bottom line had one of the best weekends with my son.....and I'll take that every time.
