Bienvenue à bord!

Being the seasoned travelers we are, we have a few questions and answers. Anyone who has flown is familiar with the safety instructions provided at the beginning of the flight and just prior to landing. Such as, seat backs forward and trays upright. Trays upright I kind of understand, but seat backs forward doesn’t make sense. As The Leaver would say, “What does it mean?” Is it to increase speed? Like when you lean forward on a low CC scooter or bicycle in an attempt to pick up the speed? Is our ability to take off quicker truly dependent on whether or not passengers are forward sitting. If so, I would like to have a few words to the passenger in 16D. Pretty sure he was the main reason our flight was delayed.

Like many other airlines, Air France provides an instructional video to promote safety messages. As we were watching the video the flight attendant on the screen mentioned smoking was “strictly forbidden.” This is a phrase commonly used by our cute little French friend, Maverick Midget King. Sleepless took note, “Now we know where Maverick Midget King learned to speak English.”

The instructions continued and, as they were demonstrating use of the inflatable life jacket, the passenger to our right quickly checked underneath his seat to ensure his jacket was there – seems a bit doubting, but perhaps he has had prior flights when he needed it and it wasn’t there. I was telling Sleepless I didn’t bring a neck pillow and was thinking about inflating my life vest. It was as if the video attendant heard my idea because she instructed, “Do not use your life jacket for any other reason.”

Our final question, “Are we there yet?” was answered 15 hours after our initial departure from New York City. We were finally on foreign soil. Now, we will be tasked with more difficult questions and answers. Est-ce que vous parlez anglais? Seulement en lit. Comment payez-vous? Seulement en lit. And last, but not least, gay or foreign (a question we frequently ask regardless of our location)? Seulement en lit…..bienvenue à bord!

  1. Can I simply just say what a relief to find someone who truly knows what
    they are talking about on the internet. You actually know how to bring an issue to light and make it important.

    More and more people must look at this and understand this side of the
    story. I was surprised you’re not more popular since you surely have the gift.

  2. Generally I do not read article on blogs, but I
    wish to say that this write-up very forced me to try and do so!
    Your writing style has been amazed me. Thank you, very nice post.

  3. Hey there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after
    checking through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
    Anyhow, I’m definitely delighted I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back
    frequently!

  4. I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your site.
    It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for
    me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme?
    Great work!

  5. I’m really loving the theme/design of your website.
    Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues?
    A number of my blog readers have complained about my website not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great
    in Opera. Do you have any ideas to help fix this problem?

  6. I’ve seen both wins and losses with binary options, and
    that realness is something you don’t get in every type
    of investment.
    Natasha from Philippines told me how their approach
    differs based on market timings.
    I’ve noticed that being in Manila, you gain access to communities that can offer insights
    and live trend discussions.
    It’s not just a get-rich-quick scheme — you really
    have to analyze charts and understand indicators.
    For anyone in Malaysia thinking about getting into this, my advice is simple:
    learn first, invest second.

  7. I’m not sure exactly why but this website is loading extremely slow for me.
    Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end?
    I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.

  8. An impressive share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a coworker who was doing a little research on this.
    And he in fact bought me breakfast because I stumbled upon it
    for him… lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!!
    But yeah, thanx for spending some time to talk about this topic here on your website.
