Trips Booked On Short Notice
« on: November 17, 2014, 11:08:59 PM »
I woke up Friday morning with a bunch of Whatsapp texts. “Did you book yet, Did you book yet, Did you book yet.”

You don't rock, your wife does.

How does she manage to arrange everything in such short notice?

My wife even asked me if I'm jealous  ;)

Packing?
Man, you decided Friday afternoon you're flying Sunday.

I can't forget your message before Shabbos 'during Shabbos I'll not know whether or not I'm flying to Asia the next day' (was when you still didn't know if AC will honor the mistake).

Don't make it sound like it's nothing.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

Packing was the least of the problems. It's not like this is the first time we took a trip, it doesn't take us that long to pack.

It was more the fact making the necessary arrangements for HKG and rescheduling any meetings/appointments we had here.

I remember how excited MEIR613 was Motzei Shabbos when he WhatsApped me that he was able to check in!

Don't think it's been done before? I've heard stories from people who booked flights around the world at midnight for 6 PM that day!

I booked tickets for the whole family to MCI on a Friday afternoon for a flight departing in 1 hour from time of booking. Left the brisket in the oven.

Same for an F glitch to EZE, within an hour out of the house, though not on a Friday :D

Packing shmacking. Live in the moment.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

If it's good enough for the Chofetz Chaim, it's good enough for me.
