We began our vacation late Friday afternoon with a trip to Spokane on Alaska Airlines. Larry perused the menu offerings and seemed somewhat excited until Debbie pointed out that a meal used to be free. The travelers contented themselves with buying the use of DVD players and settled back to enjoy their movie. Unfortunately, their window neighbor felt that she needed the window up to read her book. This action caused the movie viewers shall we call it “disharmony” and made their eyes hurt. Larry finally put his sunglasses on and Debbie just lay face down on her tray table on top of the DVD players. Luckily, the plane was 35 minutes early giving them time to regroup before the next flight.
The next flight was better in that it was dark and only two seats per row. However, Larry’s bags did not fit in the overhead thus involving packing bags around Debbie’s feet. The travelers arrive in Spokane at 10:15 somewhat agitated and got to the room at 11:00 to find a constantly running toilet. The good news is that they were in Spokane and were able to change rooms immediately. Best of all, it was cool enough to need a jacket. Did I mention that the hotel is in the middle of a pasture?
