switzerland

Remember Jeremy? . . . . We "celebrated" new years about two minutes after everyone got off the plane in Indiana. . . . He's a pilot for the airline I work for. . . .anyway. Him.

So, I was in Switzerland walking around obliviously trying to decide where I was. I knew that if I got really lost I could find someone that spoke English. Hopefully. I knew I couldn't be to lost. For heavens sake how do I loose an airport.

It was fiercely cold wherever I was and I was getting sick of being out doors. Everything was solid ice and I kept slipping. I slipped my way into a local bar. Cozy little place. I got the sneaky suspicion however that people there didn't much care for Americans. I was to cold to care. I had a few beers and a shot or two or 5 of vodka to warm me up (if I'm going to be real honest it was really because I needed to zone out). I then had the genius idea that it was time to find the airport hotel so I could pass out. Well, remember the ice situation. . . HA! I was slipping all over the place. The combo of the Alcohol and ice was mildly humiliating. As I was falling for the 30th time. Someone grabbed me and held me up. It freaked me out, so I of course I attempted to punch him which then led to me falling yet again. at this point I was laughing to hard to even know what was going on.

Next thing I know, I am waking up from my alarm (didn't remember setting it) Thank goodness I had enough wits about me last night to set it. I had to shower in super human speed and get to my flight.

I was trying to figure out how I got to the hotel the night before as I was getting on the plane. Just as I was giving up Jeremy came to the back of the plane where I was. I Smiled and asked how he was and what was new. He just laughed and said, he should be asking me that. After a few awkward moments he said he found my key after he had helped me stop slipping. and took me to my room last night and set my alarm. I was so humiliated!!!! and grateful all at the same time. What are the odds. I didn't know he was that decent of a guy. I couldn't stop blushing. He gave me 2 aspirin and headed for to cockpit.
