CoCo's Corner

At the airport - early in the morning  - awaiting our fate.  Will we get seats?? Introduction:  When I got my job three years ago, I was so excited by the prospect of travelling.  After my first trip on my benefits - which I took all by myself just to say I used my benefits - I knew this was going to be an amazing benefit.  I was so excited about taking my family on journeys.  Well, then I found out how badly buddy passes completely suck.  So - I haven't tried travelling with my  grandkids until now. Sleeping with Nuns Zach called her the Ninja Baby. She snuck her hand through the cracks.  I think she was sleeping too. But, suddenly her hand was on his knee and kind of freaked him out. I decided I was going to make Zach my first victim.  I knew I wanted to take my grandkids on a special trip with just them.  One-on-one or even two-on-one with Papa.  With Zach, I knew I wanted it to be just him and me.  He is my first grandchild.  I inherited Aedynn a few months after

So Ted and I have not been able to use my benefits internationally, because at first, he didn't dare take time off and then he changed jobs - he just started accruing vacation.  So, this week, we actually both have vacation - so we decided a quick trip to Europe was in order.  We decided on Amsterdam.  Now - this was a quick trip.  We left Sunday afternoon, arriving Monday morning.  We spent Monday and Tuesday doing our sightseeing and back to the airport on Wednesday for an early flight out. Our hopes were for Delta One.  That is first class on Delta for international and some domestic flights.  This would be the first time for Ted and I to experience this together.  We have had first class before - but Delta One is a totally different experience.  Lay down/ reclining seats, personal comforter and large pillow, large personal entertainment screens, champagne offered upon seating.  Ted and I were the only two "non-revs" to actually get Delta One on the flight there.
