Small things making a difference

We are back after a remarkably easy trip.  Continental agreed to pull our bag out of checked baggage and let us carry on an over sized bag and our flight from Tokyo to Houston arrived 40 minutes early.  Because of this, we made our connections.  We ended up chatting with a really nice girl for 7 hours on the flight. I never do this, but she was really sweet and the perfect remedy for the blues I had.

A guy working at the airport refused my offer to give him a buck for the fifty cents, he winked and said "don't worry about it".   Nice guy, great timing...sometimes small things make a big difference.
