Interesting places and people

I have always heard and felt that travel will give you the opportunity to see interesting places and meet interesting people. However, did not expect that to include the trip to the airport.

My lift reservation said to look for butterfly in 2018 Jeep Renegade. Was a bit confused as they usually give the driver’s name. When the jeep pulled up there was a large purple and pink decal of a butterfly on both back doors, confusion cleared up. When I opened the door the seat back was covered in hot pink faux fur, the walls, dashboard and ceiling were covered in fabric flowers and butterflies and small mirrors. Very festive. There was also a sign asking me to smile as I was on camera.

Never got the driver’s name but did get quite a bit of her history; daughter a yogi currently traveling in Thailand, son a techie who is more of a homebody, and herself, formerly from the Bay area where she was a dominatrix for 12 years. Wasn’t a bad driver and we made it to the airport safe and sound.

At the gate I saw a group of young men in plaid vests and suit jackets and thought we had a singing troupe along for the ride. Wrong, Norwegian Air just has a different fashion sense than the rest of the airlines, these gentlemen were the flight stewards.

Can’t wait to see what other interesting people await me.
