Budget Savvy Diva’s Crazy Adventure On The Plane

 

Today as many of you know I am flying from Portland to Los Angeles for the Brave Premiere and Cars Land at Disneyland.

I had such a great plan about packing – do it the day before my trip 🙂

It was such a good idea…. why did I end up doing it 😉

Everytime I go on a trip I always tell myself to pack earlier – it never happens.
I wonder if any of you can relate ?

 

Today I woke up at 5 am to get everything ready – we finally left at about 9:30 am.

I have a super power to lose – airplane tickets , pens, power cables, and pretty much everything essential for a trip. In all this madness I forgot to have breakfast 🙁

Fast-forward – after a TSA pat down – I was sitting on the plane hungry. I managed to forget the snack pack I made myself ( thank you super power).

I asked my Facebook followers what I should eat and almost everyone said the cheese plate. It cost $7. I have never bought anything on the plane before …

I was seated at a weird section of the plane where the 2 service carts met. I managed to get a coke zero ( first soda in 3 weeks… simply amazing) but no one asked about if I wanted to buy food. Before I knew it both carts were going opposite directions.

Now I know I can share the next occurance with y’all.

I stood up and said in a overly loud voice – I seriously did not mean for it to come out that loud but I wanted my cheese ?!

I said — ” FOOD BUY I !!!” Thank you college degree. At this point I have all the people  coach on the 747 looking at me … Of course I choose to wear a red dress ( no biggie right).

I end up getting my cheese plate and I am pretty impressed

Here is a description

I kept the crackers for the hubby ( had to justify the $7 somehow)

Funny side story – the woman in the seat in front of me across ordered the Carne Asade Skillet ( why does the meat look like fried chicken ?!)

She took one bite and spit it out. She ended up given it to her husband who “tried” to eat as much as he could.

What would you do in that situation? I would of said something about the food — she if I could exchange it for something else.

    That is funny. I got the almonds on one trip I took this past winter and had enough to share with 3 people!
    I stutter sometimes. I was trying to say something today and started stuttering and just stopped talking and said to the person… I stutter sometimes and I started over and it came out already!

    I bought one of those “meal” last time I flyed. It was horrible! Airlines should be ashamed of themselves…charging so much for flight & then making you pay for terrible food!

    I have flown Delta a lot in the last year. I was actually impressed by the food they offered. It was simply a breakfast sandwich but it was what I expected. I think the airline makes all the difference in the world.

    i’m from so cal so when you say carne asada, it better have come off the GRILL.. because that’s what it means in spanish.. “asar” means to grill, “asada” means grilled and “carne” is meat.. carne asada on a plane.. it may have been on the “grill” at one point, but that point was probably 3 weeks ago.. yuuuck!

    I’m the last one to give you packing advice. I always plan to do it EARLY the day before… and I end up not even starting until late in the evening and staying up late into the night to finish. I do manage to make a trip to the grocery store for “snackage”. Bet you won’t forget the food carry on next time you fly. 🙂
