Am I lucky or what?

Long story short:

I am on another message board and I was complaining that I have enough miles for a coach flight but my travel dates are blocked. A member of the board (she is local and I have met her several times) has a ridiculous amount of miles that she will not use because she has a little one at home and another on the way.
She just bought my first class ticket for me with her miles.

I like this whole message board community thing!

I am lucky she lives about 2 hours away.

I am going to send them a GC to their favorite restaurant and I will hit up STJ kids for a nice gift for the little ones.

I am realizing there are some really NICE people in this world. Weird as it may be to some, these forums are a way to meet some of them! What a nice thing to have happen X! Good for you!

X, that is wonderful! There's not enough of this kind of thing in the "news"- it's far too easy to forget that there are some super nice people in the world.
Things like this, all the great people I met on my trip, etc. are proof.

I was completely shocked when she offered. It was so nice of her to do and I promise that I will pay it forward as soon as the opportunity arises.

There are so many good people in the world and I firmly believe that if you are a good person, other good people will surround you.
(That is why I love it here!)

Wow! What an incredible thing for someone to do. Hope to see you on St. John, xislandgirl. We are newbies, and are really looking forward to this trip. This is the lifestyle for us!

That's great news. What a nice thing to do. There are so many sad/horrible stories out there that when you hear something like this, it restores your faith in people.
