Leaving Seattle

Getting on the plane towards Houston took coordination, but all went well. No hiccups.
All the kids checked their carry-on at the gate. Unfortunately (we discovered later) that we didn't guide one of the students well. They didn't drop their bag at the corner of the ramp before they got on the plane. They carried it into the plane. The flight attendant saw the tag, took it, and did something with it. More on that later.

I slipped a note to the 1st Attendant about the teams on board. They gave us a shout out over the intercom.

Later, MY NAME was called over the intercom, to go back towards the aft bathrooms. One of our students stood up to use the BR. He got woozy and kind of sat on his seatmate (who was a good sport). I think he just got up fast after sitting for hours. The attendant did make me go back and assist him to the BR a bit later. A lot of people saw my bum on the plane. It's a long distance between row 10 to row 35!Read more
