I have to be careful…
I could easily rupture one of my knee ligaments…
from kicking myself in the rear!!!
Less than one year ago, I earned a voucher for a free flight with United Airlines. Both my wife and I have looked EVERYWHERE for the past three weeks and haven’t been able to find it…%&^$&$*(!!!
Time is running out. Even if I did find it, I have to notify United 21 days before actually flying.
So, do the math…Today is the 19th. 20+21=41
Even if I found the voucher tonight (which isn’t going to happen), the earliest that my son could fly to visit Drexel is May 41st on the Ernest P. Worrell calendar. (That would also be June 10th for those more comfortable with the Gregorian version)
The problem with that date is that it is during Drexel’s Finals week. Everybody knows that you don’t get a good feel for a school during final exams!
So, I had to buy a ticket from Southwest…
and that wasn’t easy! This coming weekend is out. Too much money!
He can’t fly out on the last weekend in May. He has a warm up tournament and we are moving into our new apartment.
The ticket prices drop after June 1st. However, he has the state freestyle tournament on Saturday, June 6th. He has to do well there to qualify for the Nationals in July.
Now, he can’t be jet-lagged for that so that rules out flying back on Friday…
And he has Elite night practice on Monday where only the best wrestlers are invited, so…
He is flying out on Tuesday morning, landing in Philadelphia at 7:35 P.M., taking his official visit on Wednesday and flying back to KC to be at practice on Thursday night!
And he’s on summer vacation!
