Advice to all Intrepid Travels!

We meet all kinds of folks and we all have different ways of dealing/responding to others. It may be worthwhile to remember the following as you stand perhaps tired and impatient in a long queue at an airport check-in!










Imagine the scene:
  • Issie and her husband standing in queue at check-in in Hong Kong airport, destination Sydney Australia.
  • american couple in front of them being extremely rude and aggressive towards the lady trying to check them in for their flight.
  • couple most unhappy and obviously making it known and heard to all around.
  • couple get boarding passes and eventually go away.
  • Issie and husband so shocked at the behaviour of the american couple.
  • when they were called forward to check in they said to the lady behind the desk how sorry they were that she had to take such abuse from anyone.
  • lady behind desk says not to worry, no problem..............................their luggage was now on its way to Mumbai, India!
Moral of the story ..........a little courtesy and a smile could keep you out of a lot of trouble!
