Back in September 2015, I talked my brother, Tim, into taking me to the last Texas A&M home football game, scheduled for November 14th. It was Aggies vs Western Carolina. Me and my brother, Tim, as we headed out to tour the Texas A&M campus. I booked my flight with my Delta miles (Thanks DELTA!!) and the crew were simply wonderful, especially when they indulged me and my traveling bunny by posing for a photo!
