Plane ride with David


David and I were on a 4 engine plane headed for Los Cabos. When the pilot came on the intercom and said one of the engines was out and the trip would take about 15 minutes longer. Awhile later the pilot said we had lost the #2 engine so we would be 45 minutes late. Then just as we think it couldn't get any worse the pilot says the #3 engine went out and our flight would be exceedingly longer. So David turned to me and goes "I hope the #4 engine doesn't go out or we'll be up here all day".

With my luck I'd get on a plane and it wouldn't start.

My flight from SAL to LAX ended prematurely due to the 'Brain' on the Airbus I was traveling on completely malfunctioned. The Pilot told his staff (in Spanish) that 'La Cabeza del Avion se dano" he announced (in English) that "Very bad weather is approaching, and we must postpone our flight until tomorrow.

Go figure!:?:

Continental/TACA paid for 1 nights accomodations at the luxurious Sheraton Presidente - San Salvador!! Included was an incredible Dinner Buffet on the beautiful grounds there. WINNING!!:yes:
