I’m sitting in the Phoenix airport waiting for my flight back to Houston. The trip down was uneventful if a little stressful. TFA allows me to fly on his benefits so I get to fly for dirt cheap however, I fly stand by. The other downer is I have to fly thru the airline’s hub. This meant flying from SFO to HOU and back to PHX. Considering how much it saved me in cash, I didn’t mind at all. [1]And yes, I plan on showing him my gratitude in person
Flying standby is a tad nerve racking as you are never quite sure till the last minute if you are going to make a full flight. Both my flights coming in were full. The SFO to HOU flight, I made it only because the desk clerk was family [2]read gay and liked my look. (If you got it, work it.) He boosted another passenger to first class which freed up a coach seat for moi. Very nice of him. Two of the flight attendants were men. [3]read gay, again The Latin one practically fell over himself flirting with me. I was sure to text TFA afterwards and ask him what was up with all the slutty flight attendants. hehehe
The 2nd flight was overbooked but a connecting flight was late so I once again lucked out. I even got a seat w/extra leg room. All of the flight crew were women so nothing to report.
My buddy Frank had hurt his back so we couldn’t do a lot but he was feeling better and we still managed to have a good time. Apparently, Phoenix was overcast this past weekend so the temps only got into the frigidly low 100’s.
I did get a chance to meet fellow blogger and twitter buddy, Brent. I’m not sure why he is so reserved or shy. He warmed up to us quickly and was very engaging. That said, Frank and I had to practically threaten him with bodily harm to get him to go out with us. It was his birthday weekend (be sure to hop over and wish him a happy belated) and we were determined NOT to let him sit home and hide out. Finally, he relented and we ended up at Charlie’s (Country Western bar). Frank ran into one of his friends who was this short, buff, and hairy hottie, aka Steve. Steve gives new meaning to the term WOOF!
I managed to make a new ‘friend’ of my own hehehe Actually, he started it, I just finished it. I’m not really sure why everyone seemed so surprised when we started kissing. I mean, I did wait 15 minutes into the conversation to mug out. That has to be a record or something.
I could write more but it will have to wait. My flight is here and there are 3 hairy hotties getting on board. Since I’m standby, I get to board last. I am determined to get a seat next to one of them.
I have been reading Brent’s Blog and saw the crossreference to yours…. -Brent doesn’t really have any good pictures of himself….
WOW – not bad for a Canuck!
woof – no make that WOOF…
to both of you…
Looks like you planned your vacation just right to miss the first hurricane… my Mom lives in Corpus, gave her a call to let her know to listen to the news in case it hits Texas a little north of the predictions… currently Mexico/Brownsville is the target. You probably don’t miss those, yet I’d rather have a hurricane than earthquake, but I guess you can get use to anything…
Now you know the full story of my entire life with traveling standby. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be….but the price is right.
You shoulda worked it a little harder and gotten the first class for yourself.
you waited 15 minutes into the conversation??? Must be Metric minutes.
It was great meeting you. You and Frank are such cool guys. I’m hoping to get out with Frank periodically.
Thanks.
Yay! A good photo of Brett, it’s nice to see his face finally. Frank has the coolest shirts, ever! Datsun! I LOVE IT. We had a Datsun when I was growing up, it was the shittiest car!
Hope that your trip is not influenced by the hurricane. And it is fun to read about how you work your charm on different things. 🙂
Hope you make it back safe and sound. And with more stories about the three hairy hotties…..
I want details on your hotness with your “friend!”
You know why I love reading your blog, Moby? Because you’re living the single life that I don’t have, and it’s so damn fun to read you slutting it out! 😀
xoxoxo
I’m jealous of your flight karma. I usually have bad flight luck (lost luggage, missed connections, no hot menz, etc). Plus i never… EVER… get hit on or cruised. Ever.
What the hey? You were in Houston and you didn’t make an attempt to see me and the girls? We could have fed you barbecue or something. 🙁
I hope the vacation goes well. Have a great time!
