Who forgets their plane tickets for a three month trip overseas? Who??? Come on take a guess. It’s like some comedy scene in a movie.

We are all ready on the road the house is abandoned and locked up tight with the keys given away. Then one moment driving away in the car it hit. BAM!!! Like the 10 ton ACME weight falling down on Wild E. Coyote. Twice. Donde esta the bleep’n TICKETs. It’s laughable. Hahah. Really it was not so bad. I mean we knew only 10 minutes away from the house and we called the Becky’s friends near midnight with house keys saying…”ummm we forgot the tickets” and Scotts response in the most deadpan tired disbelief voice said slowly “you forgot your tickets?….pause….all righty then we shall be over with the keys”. Good friends are the one that don’t tease at a moment of crisis, I am sure it will come later. On top of all that Becky could not speak since she lost her voice and sounded like a squeaky downed rat not to mentioned she has been stress for the past 8 hours or so getting ready.

So how you forgot them you ask? It’s simple really. The international tickets are real physical paper tickets not your typical tickets. They are on the little table next to the door in a bright red envelope. I asked Becky a few times while getting ready did she have the tickets and she said yes. I asked “the paper tickets”. She said yep. Then finally in the car near midnight on the way to the airport I asked to see the tickets and Becky pulled out some random email she printed. I am like oh my gosh we didn’t just forget the tickets. We did. The funny thing was on the email it stated they were “paper” tickets not e-tickets. Silly girl. I love her.
