Last week, my sister and I met in Idaho to visit Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park and the International Dance and Music Festival in Rexburg. Serentipitously, we were on the same connecting flight from Salt Lake City to Idaho Falls (btw, if you are ever in the Idaho Falls airport, be sure to eat at the restaurant. It is REALLY good and REALLY cheap!).
My sister traveled a LOT this past year for her job and earned a huge number of “points” with both Delta and Avis. I’m pretty sure her card listed her as a Goddess Member. When we retrieved our car, the agent indicated that Lisa’s reservation had been upgraded. We arrived at space #12 and my sister stood motionless gaping at the car whose lights had blunk and doors unlocked when she pressed the button on the remote: a red Cadillac.
Stage one was denial. Stage two: oath uttering. Stage three brought threats to exchange the car for the originally reserved compact car (I think it was a wheel barrow). And finally, stage four brought sighs of acceptance and we loaded our suitcases into the trunk.
Judging from the stares through furrowed brows we received, the red Cadillac was indeed the least appropriate car in all of Yellowstone National Park.

Haiku Ewe is honored to have been chosen to be a part of the Cartoon Art Museum’s exhibit in San Francisco, CA!
Strangely enough…I have been to that airport and know the food of which you speak!
Shut up!! REALLY?! Isn’t it great!
