Travel Delays, The Crappers Full – NOT
I can’t resist the reference to one of my favorite movies, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. My husband returns today after being gone more than three out of the last four weeks. It is not that he travels too much…yet; it is more that when he has to travel he really has to travel.
So after all this time away, I get my wake up call when he gets to the airport. I’ve been busy about my routines of rushing my fifth grader to school for her trip to Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom…her fate at the hands of the new Voodoo ride awaits her…that is if she is tall enough.
I get home with the other two youngsters, the really young ones and my husband calls to update me on his travel delay. The plane thinks the crapper is full basically, to which the pilot says it has been verified it is not but as such the facilities will cease operation during the cross country flight unless the glitch is fixed.
My van has a dome override button to ensure my dome light doesn’t activate if I don’t want it too, do you think the plane could have a switch to ignore the signals it is being sent about the toilet?
So, I was disconnected from my husband and hope that the plane took off shortly afterward because I’ve had enough quality time with my three girls if you know what I mean and I really hope he doesn’t get lost on the way home.
Any travel tidbits that tickle you’re funny bone?
Crossing fingers the flight took off quickly and the hubby is home soon!

I have only flown once. I had to use the bathroom and was so afraid it would open up to flush while I was going. I have watch them television movies you know. Things can get lost in them toilets. I did manage to survive, but really prefer my own toilet.
No funny stories to share, but that is hilarious. Plus that was sincerely suck. How can you offer a flight where people are literally STUCK on a plane and not allow them to use the toilet. Yeesh. I hope nobody drank coffee or soda all day.
Hope he got home okay. :)
LOL, He got home, they fixed the problem before they left. Blondie that is too funny…LOL; are you like my daughter who hates those toilets that flush automatically? I remember the long nightmarish trips to visit grandparents where I had to hover between her and the sensor.
