overbooking and free tickets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so...
at the phoenix airport (connecting flight) on the way home...
about a half hour ago, an anouncment was made that our flight back to phoenix was overbooked. they were asking for volunteers to give up their boarding passes in exchange for a flight the next morning and for free round-trip tickets to anywhere in the continental US... i was getting frozen yogurt while my parents were back at the gate and the announcement was made. i got back to the gate and my parents told me about this, and i looked at them, "you haven't taken the deal yet?!?! what are you waiting for?!?"

so...
i am sitting at gate B16. the tiny plane has already departed and is on its way to long beach, without us on it. we will be leaving the airport fairly soon with three round-trip ticketws and a hotel to stay at for the night and a flight back home tomorrow morning. what a deal! my dad is especially excited since this is where he went to college, so he gets to spend a day in phoenix.

isn't it great when people mess up... others can really benefit from it!!

well, the only set back is the fact that we don't have the luggage that we checked in... however, i do have my necesities... my carry-on, which was my raquet bag. as long as i have my tennis raquets, i can survive... i don't need anything else! forget a toothbrush, i've got raquets!

ok, well, we are going to be leaving the airport soon, so i better get off.
i'll be posting my pics from michigan when i get home tomorrow.

hooroo!
