Our tickets went missing today, and we couldn't find them... still can't. After a frantic two hour search behind book-cases and the refrigerator, and tearing things apart, we called Northwest Airlines, dreading the discussion. I'll cut to the chase and eliminate the tension. Although the tickets we'd received looked like paper tickets, they were just receipts for e-tickets. So, our discussion with Northwest was some of the best news I'd received in awhile. I could have done without that stress, but I'm glad we got the tickets all straightened out, and really glad they're e-tickets.

Lost tickets

Our tickets went missing today, and we couldn't find them... still can't. After a frantic two hour search behind book-cases and the refrigerator, and tearing things apart, we called Northwest Airlines, dreading the discussion. I'll cut to the chase and eliminate the tension. Although the tickets we'd received looked like paper tickets, they were just receipts for e-tickets.

Well our lost 'tickets' finally (!!) surfaced today. Of all the places we looked, and all the things we have done since returning, we found the 'tickets' in a place we use everyday. They were in the bread drawer. Now before you get visions of old moldy bread just sitting in a drawer for three months, let me explain our bread drawer. Not only does it hold our bread, which is a staple in a family of six, it also holds our aprons (which we rarely use). Therein lies the mystery of the tickets. Today a glass of milk got spilled in the drawer (Don't ask, it is just life with two preschoolers). Of course I had to empty everything out, including the aprons which had milk on them. Lo and behold, there was the envelope from the travel agency. How it ever wound up in the bread drawer under a stack of apron, I have no idea.
