Motors medal of Honor - 70spop
Becky and I used her flight benefits to come down to AMVIV for Saturday. We got in early, met great folks, had a great time.
We went back to the airport to get our flight home. We were bumped from the flight. Went to our alternate.... bumped. Third and last hope... bumped. We couldn't find a flight into Northern California on any airline.
By now it's midnight, and we're physically and emotionally exhausted. I had SDMike's cell number (hope Tig is feeling better), called him and asked him to find any of the REME gang, and see if we could curl up in a hotel room corner or something.
Brian (70spop) called me back, donating not only some floor space, but room in his Mini to get us home. He lives in Sacramento, and Manteca is right on the way.
After dealing with a thoroughly demented daschund and cat, we still had to drive over to San Jose to pick up Becky's car at the airport.
Our bodies are killing us today.
But Brian my lad, I'm lifting my pint to ye.
Thank you!

Hi guys!
Glad to hear y'all made it home safely.
Way to go, Brian
Sorry I didn't get to meet you. I was down for the count on Saturday with the flu (or food poisoning...not sure which)...spent the day in bed, looking out the window at the parking structure and all the activity. I heard I wasn't the only MINIac who mysteriously became ill at AMVIV....there were several of us.
I was feeling slightly better by the banquet, and fortunately, had kicked the sickness by the time we pulled out at 7AM on Sunday morning.
Glad to hear y'all made it home safely.

Any time. Cheers! Pure good luck that I happened to meet Mike a few hours earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have known who he was when Emily (unixgal) brought him by our table, and I might not have been paying attention when he mentioned your names. Someone might have tracked me down eventually once word got around, but this worked out ok. I enjoyed the company, and it was nice not to drive the ENTIRE way back.

I told her that the floormats were replaceable, but thankfully no 'incidents' occured.
