Worst Airline Ever is...Easy Jet.

I recently returned home from Europe. I went with my parents to Italy and France. It was a blast and I would blog the whole trip in one post, but I feel as though that might be too much reading so I will be sharing thoughts and memories as I go along with my blog. The first on that I would like to share has to do with the European Airline Easy Jet. Or in other words the worst airline. EVER! It goes like this...

We had been in Venice, Italy for one day and that night we had to catch a flight to Paris, France. When we get to the airport we go to check in and get our boarding passes and they said that we were not allowed to check in until 2 hours prior. Horse crap! So we stand in line for 12 years and we see that they have a very strict rule on how many pieces of luggage you can take on board. That number would be one. Not on roller and a purse, but if you had a purse that counted as your only carry on! So we start stuffing as much as we can into one piece of luggage so we only had to check one bag, but it cost 22 Euros which is roughly or was roughly $33 USD. Oh and to check a bag you you have to take it to a separate line then get back in the huge ass boarding pass line! Really...really..Alright so after we go through Italian security and getting to our gate we see that we are boarding group number 2 and we were pretty excited, because these guys board similar to southwest. There are no assigned seats it's first come first to get best seats, so yeah we were excited. So when we get to the gate we see a sign Group 1 is for speedy boarding. To get in group 1 you had to pay and extra 11 Euros which is around $17, no thanks and then group 2 was everyone else! Yeah they were going to make us fight to the death to get a good seat on this plane...Literally.So once everyone sees one person line up it was like a stampede of people running to the line up place, with pushing, shoving, and butting in line. Alright..this is where it gets good. We are standing in line pretty close to the front..thanks to me:) and Of course this POS airline is late. again. Then my mom says "what if the made us get one a bus first and then drove us to our plane." then she just laughed and so did I, because that is just ridiculous. Right? Wrong! like, literally 2 minutes later a bus pulls up and my mom and I just look at each other and roll our eyes. They are making us load on to a bus. Well after the load group 1 on the bus they start to do our group and this black guy just pushes his way through the line my mom and I both are like "What the hell is that guy doing?" We immediately try to block him. We finally get on the bus..like cattle and there are 17 doors not really like 6 so you don't know what door to go to...They drive us to the plane and they open ONE back door in the corner and everyone PUSHES their way their and I see this little toddler boy go down and he is screaming and crying and he is getting squished and trampled so I look for his parents and they are up by the freaking door without him so Desiree, me...pulls him out so he doesn't die and give him to his parents. While in the process of punching people out to catch up to my parents my foot got stepped on with a heel..i was in flipflops and this lady tried to keep me from getting to my parents but like putting her elbow in my throat, but I treat people the way the treat me..oops. After we finally got a seat I showed my mom my foot and it was SWOLLEN..like huge and I made plenty of comments about this crap hole airline..that probably are not appropriate for this blog, but the flight attendants came on and told us how this Airline is all about SAFETY! Bull shit! it is not! My foot got broken off and a little baby almost died. I'm surprised this plane landed at an airport and not a hospital. They are late, unorganized, unsafe, and they are Orange. Worst Airline. EVER.

Nebraska. A year later...

It has been one whole year since my friend Jacqueline and I went on a road trip to Nebraska, on a whim might I add. Since I didn't have a blog back then I thought I would share some of the memories. This is where it starts. We met this soccer team from Bellevue University...that's in Nebraska. Only most of the boys on this team are from England, Scotland, Serbia. They all have lovely accents. Anyway, they were here playing Westminster so we went the next day to watch them. Blah Blah..Right after the game they had to catch a flight and it broke our little hearts, but lucky for us they said "come on out and visit us sometime." Little did they know we would really come out there. So on a Thursday we looked at their soccer schedule and they had a game at 3:30 on Saturday! I know, I know. Jac and I both fly for free, but that seems way to easy. Friday morning bright and early we loaded up Jacqueline's VW Beetle, yeah seriously! and were on our way! Oh did I add that we brought our Mannequin, Carlos! He has Facebook..look him up- Carlos Edwardo Javier. Yeah so he took up the whole back seat along with our pillows blankets and bags. Anyway, we were on our way after a quick Maccas breakfast run:) So begins our long drive. I must also inform you that we are planning on stopping in Boulder, Colorado on our way to Omaha, Nebraska. Which is out of our way 3 hours each way...just remember that. Alright so I wish more than anything I could of recorded this whole trip, it was hilarious. Plus we make awesome music videos to Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis and Crazy Rap by Afro Man and so much more. We also had our list of things we had to have happen..such as get flipped off, take pictures with strangers..etc. Alright so the way we got there, every stop that we had to stop at was a truck stop! It reminded us of the movie "Joy Ride" Plus alot of them were..uh..Perverts. So awkward. While making our "only hope" music video in Rawlins Wyoming, we got pulled over for going 91 in a 75, but the cop was nice enough to write jac up for only going 90. Thanks! ok Well we finally arrive in Boulder and our friend just said to call him when we got there and he would give us directions to his place..So he answers and all that, but then we lost connection or something so we call him back and he doesn't answer! so we try again! No Answer! So we leave a message...Yeah he never called us back. So we find a chili's and go eat there oh and it's probably like 5 or so at this point. Let me remind you Jacqueline and I are already in a bad mood! and they seat us in the lounge, well it's open seating and there are a couple tables of guys watching some football and other sports. THEN these girls walk in like...maybe 16 or 17 and they are so damn annoying they had those high pitched ditsy voices, like everything they say is a question. There are like 7 of them trying to fit in a 4 person booth...being loud as frick and so dumb and annoying. Everyone in the lounge was getting upset. So one of the girls goes in a whiney voice "I don't know what to order!!" so Desiree..thats me:) says to her " How 'bout a huge plate of shut the [hell] up!" I may or may not have said a different word other than hell..Whoops. then the guys clapped and the girls were silent. Alright so we go to order and I go Can I have the crispy tacos cuz our chili's has them and the server says "We don't have those." Ahh!! I was so sad. So after chillin for a couple hours we give our friend one more call and no answer. Well friends..His place was where we were suppose to crash...Negative! So we hop in the car a continue to Omaha...Which all together we went 6 -8 hours out of our way to see a "friend" Well we drove for a few hours until our eyes wouldn't stay open so We pulled in a rest stop and tried to sleep in her tiny packed bug! Plus it was freezing. I felt like Ashton and Britney in "just Married" We finally get to sleep when another truck pulls in with a truck load full of barking dogs. So we left and continued driving with of course our awesome conversation and did I mention we got flipped off by a motorcycle? We did and when we did we clapped because we could cross something off our list. Anyway we're driving and both of us go I'm so tired i can't keep my eyes open so we find a rest stop and take well needed nap. Remember it is saturday now and we have to be to their game at 3:30. We set our alarms and kept on snoozing them. We woke up at like 1:00 and when we put the address for the field in the GPS it said destination time 3 hours!! ahhhhh!!!!! No worries we pulled in to the parking lot at 3:28, but we needed to change so we did. We made t-shirts for the players and ran in to the game where we met Monday, Easy and Bird...These black guys that came and sat by us and were like oh you are all the Utah girls they met? and then they did cheers for us and blah blahh...so after the game They were all so surprised to see us! They said we have to go have a team meeting and shower and stuff so they would call us later, no worries they did..haha ,but until then Monday, Easy, and bird were like come kick it with us so we go over to their house and it smells like butthole and smoke and we both make up and excuse to leave after just sitting in the butt smelled filled house. When we get back to the car we Found out that Monday left his phone in the car so we had to go back there!! We just knocked and ran and left it by the door after erasing our numbers out of it! haha. alright so then Jacqueline and I are starving and we happen to know Red lobster is having never ending shrimp so we type that in the GPS and Follow it when all of a sudden we pass a sign that says "Welcome to Iowa!" haha Yep we also went to Iowa after eating we finally got to kick it with the soccer boys and the next morning we left to go to Kansas to visit one of Jacs friend and nothing besides the drive was interesting there then on the way home we went through like 7 toll roads that were $6 each and one of them we had to go on twice cuz we went the wrong way and had to back track and it's so funny cuz it just flashes a camera at you. It sucked!! that was driving back though Colorado since we didn't go back through boulder...Then in Wyoming we got stuck in a freakin blizzard we had to drive like 4 mph!! plus it is pitch black out there with no street lights just us and the little bug ok so we get home at about 4 am Monday morning! Friday -Sunday we went to wyoming, colorado...waste of time! Nebraska, and Iowa by accident and Kansas!well that is my adventure one year ago!!

Like a butler?

Yesterday was my first day training to be a server at Chili's. Yes, I am already a hostess there, but apparently I am going to be a server as well. I had no idea until my friend Jacqueline text me and said you're going to serve. I though I wouldn't get to until I turn 21 next june! Anyway, It makes me so nervous. What if I'm not good or drop all my food or put in wrong order..being a server is alot more work than people think. Oh bless..Well that is all i really have to say ..So when I am all trained up come in and see me!! I'll take care of you!

October? What?

Well, I can't believe that it is already October. My life lately really has been quite boring, but I guess that is what school and a job will do for ya. It's slightly depressing. I can't wait until I come across some more adventures. Even though I can't believe it is October, I am quite excited about it! I love October..not as much as summer, but I love October and Halloween! It is probably the best Holiday! I love dressing up, so hopefully that will bring me some blog worthy adventures. Well, I did have a small, but fun adventure last night. The last night of September. I went to the Haunted Hallow with my friend Casey, she just joined the Air Force and is here on leave but goes back to Lackland on Saturday! Boo! Anyway, I went with her and two of her Air Force guy friends who might I add are freaking BEAUTIFUL! Very attractive. It doesn't help that I love Military boys. So it was like bonus on top of bonus, amazing. Alright well we went to Chili's, of course and then waited for Adam to meet us. Oh their names are Steve and Adam. Then we headed to The Haunted Hallow on the way there we were talking about being scared and stuff and I was like "I'm just warning ya'll, I run through the whole thing." They didn't take me seriously. Right when we pull up and get out of the car these two freak of nature demons named Edgar come running/crawling really fast towards us Casey screams and latches on and hides behind steve. What does Desiree do, Run...I ran in like 7 circles until I was like alright I'll go by mr. beautiful (adam) Don't worry everyone was laughing at me and said "oh you weren't kidding...This is going to be so much fun, not mention hilarious." Cool thanks guys is what I thought. so getting our tickets and waiting to go into the haunted hallow those demons tormented Casey and I. Adam and Steve just sat there and laughed. Anyway so We get in to the place and hated my life but loved it at the same time. The adrenaline of being scared is so much fun! there were gouls and crazies and chainsaws, flame throwers, scary sword slinging people, witches, and of course small creepy goblins. Anyway...I guess you would have to have been there, but I literally ran through the whole thing..then would realize I am by myself and I would run back and they would be there laughing. Yep. That's about it.
