Traveltrivia..

How many of us love travelling, going on vacation to exotic locales and just exploring nature's bounty! What a cliche' ...everyone does! lol.. Well,,just the prospect of getting out and enjoying oneself is always a welcome treat along with all the fun and frolic that's part of the package. What makes the cream of the holiday are the after travel story anecdotes that make up all the fun of the holiday! Even the most boring incidents when narrated with the background and perceptions of others makes the most interesting and funny conversations. Like there was this time when we were flying from Melbourne to Sydney (which have a time zone difference of 45 mins). The plane was suppossed to leave melbourne at 8:20 and reach sydney at 8:33. I had this old but very nice amicable lady sitting beside me, who was really surprised when the time announcement was made! She turns to me and goes, "Excuse me, but how is it possible that we reach Sydney so soon within 10 mins?". i tried to explain to her the time difference and she was blinking stars at me and she never got it! Finally I told her that this was an express flight and it went really fast which actually convinced her! My friend and me were guffawing about it! There are also some very funny announcements that stewards make when landing and taking off. I was flying South West sometime ago to Denver and this flight attendent just after landing says, "Thank you for flying SouthWest Airlines. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride." hehehheh!! There was yet another time when soon as we got onto the flight, the flight attendent came forward to give us a demonstration about the use of seat belts and oxygen masks. This child was sitting bseide me and is asking its mommy pointing at the Flight attendent giving the demonstration, "Hey Mommy, thats a very cute doll, although a bit bigger than other dolls I have! Will you buy her for me?" The mommy goes, "But baby, she is a very expensive doll". The child replies saying, "Huh!! I dont believe that, that doll cannot even move her lips. She has a recorded voice saying everything for her!!" hhooohooooo!!! Twas quite phunny!! This other time, when we were driving to lake tahoe from the bay area, what was suppossed to be a 5 hr drive, turned out to be a 9 hr drive because of traffic snarls and snow! There was one haul up where two trucks had actually spun over and caused a go-slow for 2 and a half hours. For 2 and a half hours we were sitting in our car, not moving an inch and it was snowing outside.At the end of one hour, I lost patience and I ask my friend," Aren't you getting irritated?" he goes, "Well,,there is nothign i can do about it". I say, "Well,,I'm getting mighty irritated." He goes," So what are you going to do about it?" I say,"Well, we should probably call the cops and ask them to do a copter lift and move the trucks out of our way so that we can go ahead." He hands me his cell phone and says, "Go ahead!" I said, "Oh---well...cant you call?" he said, "No. if you want to, you can." which totally shut me up! But looking back it just sounds soo funny!!! This another friend of ours, on the onwards trip to Tahoe had the mis-fortune of losing his beany when he had put down the glass to get some fresh air! "Oh damn,,,my beany flew away! Can we turn around and go hunt for it", he seriously asks my friend who said a vehement NO when he thought of combing the air and the freeway full of cars for a beany!!
