What a ride...

• 6:30 a.m. dropped off Tarzan at the airport for a trip to see his Mom in Memphis, TN
• 7:30 a.m. phone call. Tarzan did not have a seat on the flight. They had overbooked and even though he was there 2 hours early, he was on standby.
• 7:45 a.m. phone call. Tarzan is informed that they had standby passangers who had been delayed on another flight and they got priority seating.
• 8:00 a.m. Tarzan had a seat.
• 8:30 a.m. Tarzan called from the plane
• 8:45 a.m. Tarzan was in the terminal again. They got all ready to go and had no pilot
• 9:00 a.m. Tarzan was back on the airplane and ready for takeoff.
• 11:45 a.m. Tarzan was back in Arizona. The got about 20 minutes out and the pilot announced they had problems with the flaps and he was going back. Tarzan reported the hardest landing he has ever experienced in his life. He kissed the ground when he got off the plane.
• 1:15 p.m. Tarzan is having lunch in the Arizona terminal. He was given a $5.00 voucher by the Airlines. His lunch cost $9.00.
• 1:30 p.m. Tarzan is now getting to know his fellow passengers and having a good time. They are working on the airplane.
• 2:00 p.m. I called Tarzan, no news, they are all just sitting around waiting.
• 2:15 p.m. I called Tarzan and his voice mail was on. I hope he is on the airplane.
• 2:30 p.m. only voice mail available
• 4:00 p.m. only voice mail available
• 4:30 p.m. watching news to see if their have been any airplane wrecks today
• 4:37 p.m. "WORST FLIGHT OF MY LIFE" Tarzan says he was in an exit row, the seats did not recline, there was no tray for your drink he had a little "trainer tray." There was a big 300 pound guy sitting next to him trying to help with his little tray making him feel like an idiot, the seat was hard and his (excuse me here) ass is numb so someone could pick his pocket and he wouldn't even know it. Needless to say, he was not in a good mood. I just hope the Hertz agent is friendly.
