Meme of the Week - Let's get moving




What do we really know about one another, we read each other's blogs, but there is more to each of us than our blog content.  So this year I am going to try to create a meme, or list of questions of the week. If you like the questions, feel free to copy and paste the questions onto your blog, and please link back to http://travelpenguin.blogspot.com/.  Let me know in the comments how to find your blog and your answers. 

1) If an anonymous stranger was going to buy you a car, what would you ask for?
              A red Ferrari convertible
2) What is the most expensive restaurant meal you have ever had?
              Christmas Dinner at Altitude 95 on the Eiffel Tower
3) Ever damaged a rental car?
              Had a windshield broken by a rock in Montana
4) The closest you have ever come to missing a flight, but made it on board?
              One night in Memphis, back in the worst days of North West, about 12 minutes between flights, they reopened the door to let the last three of us on board.
5) Ever had your bags lost by the airlines?
              I have had bags, arrive a day after I did, but never lost never to be seen again. As long as this happens on the way home, I really don't care.  I almost always, check a bag.

  1. 1) either a kia soul or a nissan cube

    2) birthday dinner for spouse's BFF at a local restaurant

    3) someone backed into my rental car in an apartment complex; I didn't have a pay for the damage though

    4) coming back from minneapolis to washington via amtrak; they held our connection in chicago and several of us ran like hell from one side of union station to the other to board that train. yes, I took a horrendous asthma attack after that run.

    5) yeah, but got it back the next day

  2. 1) white Tesla p85+
    2) not sure but think it was the night at Seersucker here on San Diego.
    3) cracked a tail light when backing up.
    4) I've missed a few connections but cannot remember a time I had to run through an airport and actually made a flight.
    5) only once did my bag not make it at the same time I did. I got it the next day. I fly about once a month usually coast to coast and have for years. Elite status really pays off as does being a member of my airline's club. Flight delays, changes and re-bookings are a snap.
