- Another first last week–20 minutes out of Salt Lake on Delta Airlines, the plane took a quick dip to the right and then down dropped all the oxygen masks — yup the unlikely loss in cabin pressure the attendants are always warning you about at the beginning of a flight. I suddenly wished I had paid closer attention to those demonstrations at the beginning of each flight on how to use those things. The flight attendant even said she has been on hundreds of flights and never had that happen. Anyway, we went back to Salt Lake, where we waited . . . and waited . . . and waited . . . and finally got on another plane headed for L.A. and onto the Mexican cruise. It was “smooth sailing” after that, but it did add to the excitement of the trip. By the way, in case you haven’t paid attention either, be sure to yank on the clear tubing to get the the oxygen flowing. I had my mask on, but just about sucked myself inside out because the oxygen wasn’t flowing. No harm, though, just a headache. — Geri

So glad you had a good trip. The flying part is always a bit “risky”. Our “FUN FOR LESS” trip is getting less Fun and more worry all the time!!! (I wonder who named that company anyway!)
