LOL.. just read the whole thread and my post and it sounds like I spend an entire road trip talking to myself about each exit.. really just happens when I'm tired, and WANT to be home and I'm on that last leg of a trip where I can't wait to BE there.. THEN I talk myself through it..

I didnt notice anyone mentioning this about last night, but it struck me as very strange. Imagine you are on a race, you have been travelling for days, on a crummy budget, no extras and under nothing but pressure. You think you are going to be last and kicked out of the race. You find out that you and your partner not only are saved but you win a luxury night in a suite.

What does Kelly respond to that? She started talking about how she didnt know if their relationship was going to last. I thought, OMG she is afraid he is going to want to sleep with her. This sharing a suite thing isnt going over too well with her. I think she would rather have stayed in a hostel. I just pictured her as this frightened virgin locking her bedroom door the minute she got into the suite.

Did it strike anyone else that way?

It was Turkish Air that Rob last checked with and kept asking are you sure YOU don't have an earlier flight. They did not, but some other air line did. Why should they lose money for their airline by sending them to someone else. I don't know how Rob missed checking with another airline.

Sea, I used to have two Siamese cats who went everywhere with me. They were great little travelers, really, and other people were always so amused to see them in the car with me. I used to pretend I was talking to them, "Well, now we're almost home, kitties. Just another couple of miles." Unfortunately, I retained that habit (including still thinking of myself as "we") even after they were no longer with me! Might as well be my own best friend.

Although I was really impressed that Gretchen was able to climb that tower and then repel down (I'm still exhausted from watching her!), I did have a terrible thought about her. Can you imagine being trapped next to her on an airplane? Oh my gawwwwwwd, indeed!

Lexie, though I think the Travelocity gnome is cute, I feel the same way you do about clowns. Ack! Clowns are CREEPY! I saw Stephen King's "It." I'm not stupid!

Ophilliasgrandma Rob/Amber went to travel agents and airlines checking on if there was another flight out at an earlier time. At least 3/4 places. It was just plain Rob luck that happen.

Thanks Native_ texan for reminding me. I forgot that.
Anyone notice Gretchen's new jacket, headband and gloves?

Phil asks questions at the mat then after everyone has checked in interviews them for a longer period until they get the sound bites to feed us.

Rob asked the travel agent the wrong question. "What is the earliest flight out, not what is the earliest arrival."

Sea, I talk to myself also.lol

Sea, I won't lump you in with Gretchen. I really like her, but last week and last night, she was on my last nerve! Last week she riding that elephant like the queen of sheba, screeching demands that the locals help! I don't think she'll be able to blame editing!! LOL.

LOL! Maris, that whole scenario you just described re: Kelly back at the hostel creeps me out more than the gnomes do Lexi! Eeeeek!

not gonna think about it, nope, not gonna do it........

But you've got to hand it to Ron the way he continues to call her "baby" and even gave her a little kiss in the back of the cab or wherever it was. He's TRYING anyway. Haven't seen anything that sweet since the Travelocity gnome romanced the Statue of Liberty..... "can't you please put your arm down ........... my darling?"

Mimes scare me more than clowns. Remember the Big Brother mime! At a local mall parking lot here in Pittsburgh two clowns put on an act and when there were enough people around thep pulled out guns that were easily hidden in their costumes and robbed the people. Nobody go hurt and of course nobody got a good look at the robbers. Sort of a perfect crime.

We were at Sea World in Orlando and they have a mime who preforms before the "Clyde & Seymour Show" (seal & walrus).

He follows you around and makes fun of you etc. I was glad I came in from the other entrance and missed being "mimed". ...blechh......

Rob reminds me of the guy in Vegas who lets his winnings ride, roll after roll. He keeps winning, but the house only has to win once for it all to disappear.

I like Gretchen...she's in my age group. (I may be a tad older) and I admire her determination. I would have taken one look at that rope ladder and said "NEXT"!
