You don't get this on the Travel Channel

Over the weekend I read of 2 unrelated travel stories. These are good to be aware of as you go around the world. One story of an elderly woman who died on the plane trip from India to London. They moved her from coach up to first class after she died. That is a really hard way to get an upgrade if you ask me. Needless to say, some of the first class passengers who paid $4500 per ticket were a little upset by their new cabin mate.
The other was of a guy from Orlando who fell 60 feet off his balcony on a cruise ship on the way to the Bahamas. He spent the night in the ocean, and was actually rescued 8 hours later. He weighed 300 pounds, so the extra weight probably saved him. This has given me new impetus to start my emergency survival training by eating more desserts.
