[...] Anyway, no sense in me ranting about it now. They are in the air as we speak. They just left half an hour ago and will be here in about seven hours. I’ll chuck this up to another learning experience and add it to the previous lessons learned. [...]

Hello all, thanks for leaving comments. My apologies for the late reply.

Ryan, they flew on Delta, which I heard may now be charging for checked bags as well.

Katherine, yep, they sure are nickel and diming everyone now. First they take the food away, raise the price. Now they take the luggages away, raise the price.

Hi sis, I know, that girl can spin a yarn and have you in stitches

LOL! Well the “un-accomps” made it fine to California but you have got to interview Jade and get the details…it’s pretty funny as she describes it. Aaah, they’re growing up so fast….

I haven’t flown alone yet…being 16 I wouldn’t need to deal with this problem though. Yeah, I am surprised they didn’t charge you $300, what airline was it?

Wow, I remember when I was young, I traveled alone from CA to NY all the time. Well, not all the time, maybe 4 times, but it was always easy back then, prior to the time when you needed a boarding pass to even get into the terminal. That being said, I really miss the time spent with family before departing from an airport. It always seemed really special, all of us waiting with the people we were leaving, like a few stolen moments.

That being said, I am surprised the airlines didn’t make you pay the $300. Seems like these days they’ll nickel and dime travelers to death!
