Whoa we're going to Las Vegas!

Now we were going to Las Vegas with PTV & HLW and we got to check in where the lady was very nice.

"You'll be wanting extra leg room" she said, looking at me. Now I thought that was odd for two reasons:

A) I am very short - less than 5ft tall in fact and
B) I was sat in my chair anyway, so I have no idea how she could tell.

Anyway, I nodded and agreed that I did indeed need extra legroom, since I thought that PTV and hubby would both lynch me if I didn't agree to it!

We got on the plane and there we were, in that very first row with the bulkhead in front of you. They are the seats with the cute little pull up TV screens that get caught behind your legs and the tables in the arm of your chair. You know the ones - they always catch in your sleeve on the way out, or you break a nail trying to get them out or something. Still, it's all exciting stuff, cos there aren't many seats like it on the plane and you get various different gadgety things to play with and try to break.

One of the unusual things is the sort of flap down area in front of you and when they brought the drinks around, HLW tried to flap it down to use it as a table. She was discouraged from doing so by the steward type person (they have special names these days don't they - so trolley dolly won't do?) - "Oh no madam, that's not a table" they said before moving on the next person.

HLW turned to me - "Well, what is it?" - I started to try and explain it was something to do with small children and completely failed to remember the official name for it that (it's a carry cot support I remembered too late). I said that you put small children on it and then - having a bit of a silly moment - suggested that you then folded it back up into place until you reached your destination.

"That's right", interjected hubby helpfully, "it's a panini machine for babies!". HLW looked at him, with a vaguely shocked expression....for all of about 2 seconds! Trouble is, I'm never going to be able to remember the correct name for it ever again. I just know that somehow I'm always going to think of it as a baby panini machine....
