if you haven't read parts 1 and 2 - please scroll down - none of what i'm going to relay here is going to make sense otherwise...
so - the last time we left our heroine, she was returning from the flight deck... so my new friend and i get back to our seats and we talk about work, travel, where we're originally from, etc. the plane finally takes off (i'm no longer in the pilot's seat) and off we took off for SF.
my friend and i talk about travel, etc. he talks about having several hundred thousand miles from traveling and i ask why he never uses them, etc. by this point we've been chatting for at least 2 hours. fortunately the flight to SF was uneventful and we landed with only minimal bumps on the way down. nice landing, captain!
so the steward comes on and starts talking about the various gates for other flights. portland gate X, boise gate Y, honolulu gate Z, etc. well the honolulu comes up and i say, i've never been to hawaii, had he? he says, yes. you wanna go?
EXCUSE ME!?!?!
hawaii with essentially a stranger. ok, yes after 3 hours next to each other on a plane we're practically married, but what??!?1 HAWAII??!
so we walk over to the counter for giggles to see what it would cost. long story short - 25,000 miles each (which he had), $5 each, and $100 charge for it being day of.
ok - this is reasonable cost!
BUT I JUST MET HIM! yeah, we could talk up a storm - but i don't know anything about him, really. as my friend Devon said when i called her - she said, he could be an axe-murderer!! of course, Cat on the other hand wanted to know why i was calling from my car and was on my way home after an offer like that!
suffice it to say, i declined the offer.
but it has to be the most BIZARRE Halloween on record for me. in a 6 hour time frame, one man gives me jewelry (even if it was plastic) and another a trip to Hawaii...
i can't wait for next year's halloween!
