My last harrah!

Well, this past week has been not only busy, but my final single big bash, and it was a good time. Where did this happen? At work, in Chattanooga, TN. Yup, week before the wedding, and I had to be on the road. I negotiated a shorter time period, so that was a good thing, but the stories of there are quite interesting.

I got on the plane at 6:45 Sunday morning, and started the journey over. When going to Atlanta from Minneapolis, we hit some rough weather about half way there, and proceeded to have turblence all the way to Atlanta. They tried to change elevations, but nothing helped. So, we kept on going, and finally arrived, and I wasn't feeling too hot. It must be bad if it makes me a bit sick, but even this flight did a little. However, after a little food, I was on to my last leg of the journey. I got to Tennessee and went to rent my car, and the lady takes all my info down, and then looks at me and says, "Boy do I have a deal for you." Normally this would scare me, but I listened. Turns out, a guy had called and asked Hertz to get a Corvette in for him, but then had to call and say he wasn't going to make it. Apparently, the deal is that those cars get rented out before the others, so because I qualified, instead of getting an Impala, I got a Corvette at no extra cost! How about that!!

Now, on to the Hotel. It's on the historic places registry, and is amazing. I got there, and the lady proceeded to upgrade me to a suite, and knock $60 a night off the price! Ohh yeah! This made the trip alot more bearable, and cruising around in a Corvette the whole time didn't break my heart. It was a good way to go out!

Now, coming home was interesting too. I had to stop in Atlanta, then go on to Detroit to fly to Sioux Falls. We got into Detroit 12 minutes ahead of schedule, to which the pilot came on and let us know very proudly of the success. It was short lived however, as we sat on the plane because there was no one to operate the jet bridge. We sat there for 20 minutes before getting off the plane. Leave it to Delta to get you in early, yet by the time you get off the plane, you're further behind schedule. They always find new ways to amaze me.
