Bienvendio A Miami!


Hey folks. We're in beautiful, sunny Miami. Got here about 3 hours ago, leaving freezing, wet DC behind. Our 7:00 am flight was overbooked, and the ticket agent asked if anyone would mind giving up their seats for a $150 voucher and guaranteed seats on the 9:00 am flight. We jumped at the chance, since (a) we were tired and wanted to get some more sleep and (b) we wouldn't be able to check into our room until at least noon anyway. Everything was set, until the early flight was finished boarding and the ticket agent came over to us - "Hi. Thanks for volunteering, but we didn't need your seats after all. Would you mind taking these 1st class seats as a thank you?" Bonus!! As a tall man, I wasn't looking forward to 2 hours in coach, so this was like a gift from Heaven. I slept like a baby the entire flight here, only waking up as we were landing.
