Marc, I have your documents right next to my passports. No way I can forget them. They are safer with me than FED EX, DHL or any other overnight carrier.

Of course I cannot confirm whether I will make it on time since I am flying the friendly skies of the equal opportunity airlines "we may get you there but there are no promises of when, and we "hope" you will have bags. By the way even though we cant guarantee your bags, your carry ons are limited and you are also limited on liquids including toothpaste etc etc"

Ah the joys of flying. Remember when it was Lobster and Steak and everyone dressed up??.

In this case I am coming in a few days early so you are pretty safe.

As a side note: Lisa from my office was taking a small group of six to the Navigator last week. The flight coming into JFK was four hours late and they missed their overseas connection.

The airline was very non caring and said "well you cant go for two more days everything is full". My Lisa is a feisty little thing, born and raised in New York and knew just how to talk to these New York agents, and did not give up. Finally she found the "right person" it is a long story here that I wont go into right now. She mangaged to get everyone on a flight and got the bags. I was quite proud of her, not an easy thing to have happen the first time she has ever escorted a group.

The airline, it was Delta but as I said they are "equal opportunity airlines". It matters not what airline it matters who is behind the counter at the moment you are there with a problem. There are some stars and it is such a joy to find them.

On that note Marc, your tickets will be safely in my carry on!!
