Overheard In The Airport
Yesterday while waiting many hours in the airport for a flight from Oakland to Seattle, I overheard a mother and daughter talking.
"I took Holland America the last time I took a cruise. It wasn't that good," said the daughter.
"Well that's because they're the worst! You have to take Royal Caribbean. Once we took a Royal Caribbean cruise we realized there was no other way to travel*," replied the mother.
"Of course, this was twenty years ago," said the daughter.
"Oh my goodness! Things have changed so much since then, the next time you go you'll be unbelievable**! You just won't believe how much better it is."
*Except, apparently when you travel by plane.
**Even though I wanted to tear my hair out from their loud, unintelligent, seemingly never-ending conversations, I am SO totally stealing that phrase.
