Today at work I had this older lady come up to the field office desk asking about her trips to Cambodia. She was very insistent that the dates she had originally been given were not the same as the dates on the itinerary. That took a good five minutes to clear up. Then she wanted to know each and every restriction of the baggage allowed for the airlines. What dimensions? What weight? What medications need to be marked? Is the personal item allowed on top of the carry-on bag? Are all these restrictions for the carry-on bag or the check-in bag? So is the SAS trip checking all the bags or only allowing carry-ons? And on and on and on. I was getting so frustrated because she wanted each and every little minuscule detail down to whether or not she could bring water in her water bottle through security and I just didn't have all the answers for her. I also thought it was peculiar because I did not recognize her as one of our life-long learners. At pre-port tonight the dean welcomed former president LBJ's daughter and her husband, a former senator to the stage to thank them for all they have contributed to our community since joining us on board. Guess who stepped onto the stage? Yup...
