I was on the floor in the galley with an oxygen mask and a blonde air hostess slapping my face.
Was she hot?
I'm on vacation too. I'm spending it disposing of junk, plastering, sanding, painting, pressure washing, retiling floors, and being cranky. Just think, you could have come here instead of going to silly old Texas. I could find lots of things for you to do!
Hope you have a good time while I'm suffering.

you call this humid? oh child...come back in July/August (and I DID mention that possibility)
and that "little storm" put 300,000 people without power last night (me included)
I just got home and went through high water to get home...AND got hailed on to boot! Dashing from the car to my front door...soaked to the skin.
Tomorrow will be better...but it really will be humid with the ground soaked...yep...yep...yep
The flight started off well, but I got over Greenland and suddenly got very ill - high temperature, and nausea. I called the flight attendants who moved to the back and in the process I fainted. Next thing I knew half an hour had passed and I was on the floor in the galley with an oxygen mask and a blonde air hostess slapping my face.
Did you get the steak or the fish? Hope Leslie Nielson was on your flight.
So what happened? Do you know why you were ill?
Most of that scenario is quite attractive normally - blonde girl /mask/ slapping!
Well actually most penis people mix in a few chains and at least one cage in that story.
Taxis here cost ridiculous amounts. I got into the cab at the airport and asked how much to go to my hotel which is two miles away - I mean I could have walked it if it wasnt so humid and I hadnt spent 13 hours travelling already. He said $22!!! that 11 pounds - crazy for two miles - it would cost 4 pounds max in London. Anyway that pissed me off and I wasnt in the best of tempers anyway.
Welcome to the Official Dallas Rip-Off. Otherwise known as taxis. It's a racket, a scam, a cheat. Nobody here uses taxis except at the airport and then they prey upon the unsuspecting interloper. The fares really are a fixed rate. Supposedly it's "negotiated", and only certain companies are "allowed" at the airport.
Texas and graft and corruption. No wonder the president is the way he is.
And finally I felt welcome, the lady at the bar cheekily asked me for ID and I said you get a big tip for that!
Welcome to the World of the Baptists. Alcohol here has historically been looked upon by the locals as nothing short of evil (never mind most people took a nip or two on the sly; God will never notice). So most places are seriously strict about ID. You can't change them, just roll with it and call it all good.
It was sunny when I arrived and soooo humid - no one mentioned the humidity!
Oh by the way it gets really humid here. But only sometimes. Wait a minute and the weather will change. Texas is noted for extremes in weather. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Actually your stay this time will be warm and very humid.
Oh and bring or wear copious amounts of mosquito repellant. Especially on Saturday.
And be thankful for air-conditioning. It's the one nice thing that Jehovah did for us Texans.

can't wait to meet you! I think I'm following you on Saturday to the big event!!!
I have a GF who is originally from Spain. She knows around 8 languages. She now lives in Dallas, she and her Belgium husband. She makes me laugh all the time because she tells me that she cannot understand a word the southerners say to her. She turns to her hubby and asks him in French to translate what the southerners are saying! How hysterical is that.
So, I hope that you can understand them better then my GF. And welcome to the US.
Crumpet you don't have a sinus infection or cold do you?
