Best one I ever had was when I flew into Mexico City and I was always bombarded with bags, back then, when you could carry bags on to a plane, and one of The Platters, music group, helped me with my bag- doo wop all the way!

Me, hubby and kids were all seperated in seats. It was nothing "bad" though. I was in the front seat behind first class, i guess (have nothing to compare it to! *L*) a mother and young daughter, just walking age, were to my right. Across the isle to my left, was the father and son. The little girl was constantly going back and forth from mom to dad. I'm 5 ft 8 in, so my long legs were always in her way. then momma gave her a banana!! Nope, didnt hold it for her to take a bite, pealed it and gave the whole thing to her! Everytime she went by me, she grabbed on to my knees. When we landed in KC...hubby asked me..."why do i keep smelling bananas???" *L* That would be because my knees are plastered with one! The little girl was adorable and not obnoxious, just sticky! ;-) Barbs story reminds me of when he flew home from PA. Me, hubby and kids were all seperated in seats. It was nothing “bad” though.

I was in the 2nd to the last row of the plane and the rest of our group were scattered all over the plane. I was assigned the middle seat and as we were settling in I noticed that the seat in front of me was a 4 or 5 year old in a car seat. I was glad to see that as it meant that the seat would not be reclined for the 12 hour flight. (As soon as we took off they reclined the seat and it stayed that way the whole time.) Then my seat mates came, it was a young couple so I ask if they wanted to sit together, and the said no. So for 12 hours I sat between this couple. She slept alot of the trip but he was watching movies on his computer that my friends said were definitely not family fare. Then they started to talk about stuff over me, and handing the forms for customs back and forth. When the flight crew started to serve the meal they could not get up the aisles for all the kids running around the plane. They made several announcements and it did not help. By the time they got to me they had no idea of what food was left, whether it was glatt or kosher or regular. I ate some unidentifiable food that was not too bad, but was not anything that I would want again. Looking back on things I think the worst stories are from the middle seat.

Red Caps get 10 bucks from me, waiters get 20%, cabbies get 10-20% (if they handle my luggage). Those are pretty standard tips and they shouldn't balk at those fares. adam-
