the journey begins to bad mittendorf - austria

the start of the trip to vienna on june 15th......my emotions were mixed.....i was about to embark on a dream fulfilling journey but leaving loved ones behind is never easy..........

at the checkin i was notified that i am on standby, the reason being that when i booked my seat i did not select to pay the $15.00 online seat reservation fee.......after getting a negative answer if there was any way that i could be put on another flight, the comment i made was that i guess i will go to the gate and meditate.......the flight was oversold.........

seeing the long lineup of the standby ticket holders did nothing to assure me of getting a seat........when my name was called my heart jumped with joy...........the girl behind the counter looked at me and said "since you were so patient and did not come up to the counter to bother me and listenend to all the instructions, i am givng you a very comfortable seat", i smiled and thanked her...........

air canada boeing 777, new seats in first class that open out to a very comfortable bed...........you get the rest of the picture.........the journey began on a positive note.....i will continue to hold on to these positive vibes
