What Have I Done Now?
In three weeks, I will be taking the family to Disneyworld. My dad is taking us all expenses paid. All I have to do is get my family from Tennessee to Florida. My plan was to drive stopping in Atlanta and spending a night with my sister and her family. Seemed like a good plan to me. Then my wife started whining about flying. Now I am not scared of flying. In fact, as a child, I flew quite often. Parents were footing the bill then. I don't think I have flown in 25 years or more. I was a little nervous because I am a big guy. I hear all the time from friends that fly just how small planes and the seats are. My wife found a flight down for $29 (bs, but more on that later). I decided to research things. Turns out the seats are 17.8" wide. My desk chair is 21" and it is okay. I could probably go 20" and be good. Anything smaller and I don't know that I will fit. You must be able to lower the arm rest completely. I am not sure how to measure my ass but I can tell you that it is bigger than 17.8" Here is my thinking. I will be sitting next to a 5 year old or a 6 year old. They don't need there entire 17.8". I hope I will be allowed to borrow a couple of inches from them. Does this sound doable? Also, I got to figuring. The $29 flight starts adding up. $29 x 4 people turns into $320 after all their little fees are included. The good news is it is only $310 to come back home. So now, not only am I spending $630 flying to Disney, I am not even sure I will fit into the plane.
To top it all off, I could care less about Disney. I hate stuff like this. Somebody convince me that it isn't that bad.
