That's what the airline said. Quite simply, this is another way of telling passengers that a plane is tiny.
I am so tired. While opening a savings account this afternoon, the bank representative and I were communicating in Spanish-- unfortunately my French is non-existent, but fortunately she spoke Spanish fluently. Anyway, as she was filling out some forms, she asked if I was "cansada." Tired? (Or so I thought.) Heck yes was I tired. She was asking if I was "casada". Married? Nope, I'm not, but in my state of fatigued delerium I sure thought it was funny. Funnier than she did.
You all should also know that a woman on the airplane had to pee very badly. She kept talking about "pee-pee" this and "pee-pee" that. But of course, this aircraft was not built to carry verticle human beings, let alone contain a lavatory. I guess she had to pee pretty bad, because she asked one of the other 19 passengers for a small tupperware container (at least this is what I assume since I could not follow the conversation due to my aforementioned linguistic challenges). He passed it back. She pulled her pants down with help from her friend across the aisle. Then she placed the plastic container beneath herself and felt, I assume, a huge sense of relief. The little container, with no lid mind you, sat on the floor next to her feet for the remainder of the flight. And it only spilled a bit as she exited the aircraft. This, truly, was an awesome start to the trip.
No pictures today. I am going to sleep.

Oh, I can't believe you are on your way to Haiti. While we have been talking about this trip for so long it still seems rather surreal. Further, I nearly pee'd "myself" when you described the woman on the plane relieving herself with a plastic container; a rather auspicious beginning I might add. I wish you the best of luck on your journey and please, please be safe! I know, I know...I sound like a 'mother' but honestly, you can never too cautious. I look forward to hearing about your many adventures and I know this experience will remain with you forever. YOU ROCK, HOLLER!
LOVE YOU LADY, peetz
Wow...I can't believe I have to do this but yes, I am going to...I must edit my 'prior post'. I meant to say that, "YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO CAUTIOUS".
This is what you have been waiting for, for a long, long time, so grab it by the 'balls' and do your THANG! ;)
Wow. Glad you made it. Hope you are sleeping soundly.
