OMG! Thanks for not sharing that tidbit during our lunch always wanted to use that guy.
Waiting for Jingle Bell Jingle Bam! to start. Rain free again today. Hopefully Sunday was it. But this humidity, shouldn't be in the upper 80s or this humid in Nov. Makes me wonder how I'm going to manage Aug next year.
I have embraced and love the mid day break
I could never have shared that story while we were all trying to eat lol. That would have been unbelievably cruel, especially when our lunch was so delicious!
From your Facebook pictures, it looks like you've had a lot of fun on the end of your trip. I am so glad! Safe travels home today . May your journey be vomit free!
Good grief! What a flight nightmare! I can't imagine how grateful you must have been to get off that airplane...
Ha ha, yes ma'am! We swiftly disembarked and soon as we were able. And our 1st stop was the ladies room so that we could give ourselves a good washing, or at least the best we could in a public bathroom.
Oh my goodness. I work with small children for a living, I raised two of my own, and I am the much older sister to five younger siblings. Children do not gross me out or surprise me .... BUT... the incident you just described would have had me vomiting too. There’s no way I would have survived it . I would have probably put on a parachute and jumped from the plane. Truly. You’re a trooper Gina.
ETA) those socks are awesome . And please tell me you got a new purse out of this deal !
I love my cat sox! It's important to have happy feet when one is traveling lol.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a new purse out of the deal (and that was okay, because thankfully my purse only got hit minimally.....it didnt get drenched, thanks to some quick reflexes our part .
In fact, the mom and dad never apologized or seemed to even feel badly about the instant at all . I was really hoping they would give some sort of indication to the in flight crew that they appreciated their help or felt badly about the matter. Nope. They actually seemed more insulted that they had to change the little girl out of her matching outfit that coordinated with that of her sister . I will never understand people.
OMG, how long was your flight.......? What a nightmare and certainly the parents had little thought feeding them a ton of rubbish. Remember to take air freshener with you next time, a bucket and rubber gloves!
We once flew over the Grand Canyon in a little plane, as soon as we hit those thermals 1 of the other passengers was constantly sick but managed to be sick in the bag, take a quick photo and then be sick again! I had all on keeping it together and I think we all got off that flight looking rather pale of course we laugh about it now
Glad you look on the positives of that flight and looking forward to your next update. BTW love the cat socks
You're idea about the rubber gloves is seriously a good 1. I may throw a couple of pairs in 1 of our carry ons on the next trip. If we don't use them, they're not taking up any extra space. It sure wouldn't hurt to have them for airplane emergencies or any other icky situations that may arise.
One thing you guys may not know about me is that I have a love of fun socks . I have all sorts of funky pairs with everything from cats to sheep on them, lol. I really am just a big kid . People give me Sonny looks when I take off my shoes, though. I suppose at my age I should grow up but personally I think it's too late now .
Holy Moly!! I'm with Steve- I don't handle those things well! There would have been Pukefest 2 on my part!! Yes, I would not be mad at the child but yep- Mom & Dad, what were you thinking???
And your purse??? It's a kitty purse?? It was saved?
I love your kitty socks, too!!
Yes, it was my beloved cat purse that got hit. I have fallen in love with a particular line of purses made by a company called Bungalow 360. They have all sorts of fun animal prints, and I think my next purchase needs to be the sea lions one . Look them up online, they will bring you a smile for sure. The place that I work at sells them so at least I will get I significant discount when it's time to replace my current model.
Reason #712 that I drive to all of my vacation destinations. If Tony is feeling puky, he can just roll down the window!!!
I could not help but wonder how this young family fared on their way home. I certainly hope they learned something from the journey to Orlando so that they didn't repeat the disaster on the way back. I was so sad for that little girl, what a terrible experience for her 1st time flying.
Oh my...I knew how this story was was to go as soon as you talked about the family. YIKES!!!! Oh my. I know DH would have be involved in the puke fest. He is a sympathy puker and was NEVER able to help when the kids were little and sick. I have to admit, your story telling had me laughing at my desk
I have had the joys of traveling when a little boy had puked just after take off as well. And wow...thank god the cabin crew was good to help and not make the family feel badly about it. This cabin crew was NOT very friendly and made the mom traveling alone with 2 kids feel horrible. I did end up emailing the company to tell them what had happened with specifics including my boarding pass so they could reprimand the crew for their lack of sympathy for this poor mom who was trying to keep her cool. And yes, this was a very young and up and coming canadian airline who many people now travel with. It was the only time I have ever had a problem traveling with this particular airline ( and i have done lots of cross canada flights with them since for work )
I'm just glad you had a more " washable " purse. And not some designer bag that are not very " puke friendly " lol. I sure hope they were able to give you a little reimbursement for having your purse puked on twice. What are the chances!!!!! You should have bought a powerball ticket with that luck!
I made a point of messaging Frontier Airlines a couple of days later to put in some very positive feedback for that particular in flight crew. I really wanted the airline to know that they went above and beyond the Call of Duty on that flight, and did so with the utmost of grace and class.
I am glad I was able to bring you a chuckle lol. Honestly, as gross as it was while it was happening, we couldn't help but laugh about it as well. You have to keep a sense of humor about life!
Yay for the start of the TR!! And oh my, what a beginning! I'm glad I wasn't there- I probably would have contributed to the mess
I am pretty sure there were a lot of people on that plane who were glad they were not sitting anywhere near the exit row lol. We actually met up with a few other passengers from our plane in the ladies restroom while we were scrubbing our hands and arms, and they were very sympathetic.
OMG - Thts horrible!!
On a positive note, the rest of the flight experience was awesome. Super smooth flight, very little turbulence, and a great crew. So we came out on top over all!
