Mrs. Hobbit is on the plane. I repeat. The hobbit-wife is on the plane

Posted by oblique (aka kkuphal) Jun 27 '24, 05:25

Departing about 15 minutes late as of right now but no weather in sight, just a full flight.

As I mentioned earlier, the easiest booking for me was a Hyatt (points) for a 2 bedroom suite. Sounds like it was good because the hotel said they were fully booked when she arrived making it sound like they didn't have her confirmed room but it worked out. The room had 2 bathrooms and neither toilet flushed. Not sure if I should "complain" to Hyatt about it but that definitely was weird.

Estimated landing time is 9:35am Chicago. I got to work early so I can go pick her up, take her home, and then come back into work for the rest of the day. She was sick last week and complained a bit about some potential sinus/ear pain while landing on the last flight so if she's worse off I'll do a half day and make sure she gets to the doc...

I may be projecting, by I can relate to every bit of the concern/worry that I read in your post. - Fuzzy Jun 27, 05:54 1
- I'm 100% a bit of an over-worry traveler. Not in a debilitating way but I go into "serious mode" when dealing with air travel, hotels, etc. - oblique Jun 27, 05:57
So wait, 9:35 your time is 10:35 East coast... - decline Jun 27, 05:49 [Backboard] 3
- Plane is still on the ground. Asked for medical personnel on board. You may be dead on by the time this is done -- nm - oblique Jun 27, 05:55 2
  - while I'm dancing a victory jig, I do feel bad for her - decline Jun 27, 05:57 1
    - she's just exhausted from not much sleep last night. Only seat when I booked her was a middle one. I kind wish I had splurged and gotten her economy - oblique Jun 27, 05:58
Yay! You did well getting her a room and hopefully it's an uneventful flight home. I'd say something about the toilet, that's not right. -- nm - Krusty Jun 27, 05:42 1
- Just pulled a guy off the flight for a medical issue. I'm writing it all down for the eventual movie script -- nm - oblique Jun 27, 06:02
