This trip is a hoot! I'm sure there were some tense moments, but the way you tell it makes it so funny - a comedy of errors, LOL!

That was a close miss for sure..Next I suppose we would have to attire ourselves with hospital garbs before they let us off the check points. No matter the rigidity of their searches, we still hear of bombers taking off in jetplanes!!

I remember an episode for me similar to that 25 years ago. I was trying to catch my flight from L.A. back home and messed up on the timing. After running, running, running in heel and with my carry on, bag, and whatever, I finally got to the door of the plane and the attendant met me with, "I'm sorry but we are short a meal and if you come aboard you won't have anything to eat," as if food was on my mind.

If only I had a dollar for all the airports I have run through I'd be three bucks richer. You should write comedy novels like Forest Gump and the likes...You make me laugh.

There is a special kind of triumphant feeling
as the aircraft taxis across the macadam, and you are still panting, heart still pounding, from the run to the plane.

Thank you for allowing me into your nightmare. LOL I'm staying home unless I can drive there, that way Muslims won't blow me up in a plane anyway.

This happened to me in Torron to heading for a plane to Ottawa where I knew
our Wiley was waiting...when I reached the plane I gasped out....connecting flight...and the attendants were so nice. taking my hand luggage and stowing it and seating me and a cup of water. Of course in Ottawa we had to wait for my luggage as it had no chance to make the same flight as me. Still at least the Lovers were together.

Wow...
The day I went into the Air Force, a group of us country bumpkins couldn't find out gate and when we asked the very pretty girl at the desk, she pointed to a plane taking off and said, "that's your plane." My first plane ride and my first missed flight all on the same day, what a deal!
