My wife woke me up 3 hours later telling me they cancelled the flight. To say the least ,I needed my wife and global service to get me off the plane. Won't ever make that mistake again. Some day I am going to write a book on all this stuff. Safe travels to you.See you in the air!
I had to laugh, Tom, although I'm sure your wife didn't at the time.

It's the same reason we never remove our shoes until after takeoff, but a whole new level.

Thanks for sharing that one! ^
