So I have a funny story to share.. This afternoon I was trying to checkin online for my flight to Amsterdam and the website kept explaining that the server could not find me on their flight. Naturally I began to panic! I called icelandair and asked them what the problem was and they informed me that my booking had been canceled. I didn't understand. After a long time of waiting on the phone with no progress I decided to call studentuniverse. They informed me that my booking had been canceled due to duplicate bookings. I was left confused and so was the woman on the other line. She took my number and said she would work things out and call me back... She explained that a "Kirsten pinto" left on the same flight yesterday and the airlines assumed that was me and canceled my flight for today. Who on earth could have the exact same name as me?! Then it hit me. My grandmother! I was named after her. The woman on the other line told me that the "Kirsten pinto" that left yesterday was 86 years old! Yep, that was farmor! One of the joys of having the same names as another family member! Anyways, after a lot of waiting and anxiety, I am finally in the Logan airport waiting to board my flight to Amsterdam, sleep deprived and over this part of the journey.
