Flew home from Vegas.  Got to the gate to board my flight and they asked me to be bumped for a $200 plus the cost of my flight, which was $160, equaling a $360 travel voucher.  I strongly hesitated as I was very tired and anxious to see my kids and husband.  But then I thought, hey this is a free flight for Aaron AND me to Houston in January or Boston in April.  Its worth it.  So I agreed and they confirmed me on a flight that didn't get to Denver until 10:45 p.m. Ugh. It was going to be a looooong day in the airport.  But then I had him put me on the top of the standby list for the next 3 full flights to Denver and prayed that I could get on the next flight just 50 minutes later.  My prayer was answered!!!  Someone missed their flight and I was the lucky standby person to get on!!  So I got a $360 travel voucher for just waiting in the Vegas Airport for an extra 50 minutes!  Score!  I got home around 4:00 p.m., gave my kids some little souveniers I had picked up for them and enjoyed the evening with my family.  Its SO good to be home.  And I looked online and discovered that my travel voucher will all but $50 cover our trip to Houston OR Boston, whichever I decide to use it on.  Sweet!

Nice score there. I hope the souvenirs were 6 inch ceramic replicas of Wayne Newton.

How did you guess?! Were you stalking me in Vegas??!

No actually they are these cute little monkeys with magnetic hands and feet so you can wrap them around things and they hold on. BIG HIT. I don't think my kids would have appreciated ceramic Wayne Newtons.
