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! |
