After a harrowing drive from Colorado Springs to Denver this morning at 0400 (icy and foggy), I sat on the couch at the airport. Twice, I got called to pre-board flights...and then the phone in the crew room rang once again...it went like this:
"Brriiiiiinnnnng, briiiiiinnnnnng."
Another flight attendant answered the phone and yelled out "SUSAN MOORE!"
The crewroom came to life - all the FAs and pilots started saying "You're going on a trip, you're going on a trip!"
I picked up the phone...."Hello?" and heard that it was Bernadette in Scheduling. She said that she had a trip for me - meanwhile, all eyes are on me, so I decided to play it up. "COSTA RICA?!?! You're sending me to COSTA RICA!?!?!" People in the crewroom actually believed me! Hahahahahaha! We don't start flying there until 12/19...GOTCHA!
What Bernadette called to tell me is that they were flying me to Orange County, CA - I got to be a passenger, watch free TV and sleep! I'd spend the night and then work a flight back in the morning - one of their flight attendants called in sick, and evidently flew home on the flight that I just came in on.
This is a beautiful hotel...and it's a beautiful day. I think I'll go out and explore for a little while!
