Nothing ever goes as planned. I was really excited about the trip and even if I didn't fit in the seat I was going to have fun and deal with that when it came up. So everything went smoothly in the morning, however, my travel suit does have a slight wiff of sweat even after all those washings. Oh who cares, as long as the plane doesn't go down - right?
So I got a text from B to call her. I started to freak out that she was going to back out, and then I had to decide if I wanted to go alone or not, but she was just calling to let me know that her hubby was bringing her so we were still on.
We got to the airport right on time and I saw B standing on the curb and everything was good. Until I walked up to her. Disaster, she forgot her most important bag and her hubby had to go back to WALNUT CREEK (an hour one way) to get it. There was no way he would get back in time, but B kept saying he will do it (the Polly Anna that she is,) so I didn't dissuade her, but I knew she wasn't going to make it on the 9:20 if she waited for her bag. By the time I had to go to board the plane he was just getting to the Caldecott Tunnel going to Walnut Creek. Nope he wasn't going to make it.
So we made a plan - she would catch the 11:20 which would get in at 1:30, and I would wait at the terminal until she got there.
So as I headed to security I started to wonder if they were going to question the difference in my drivers license to me. I don't think I look like my drivers license any more, so I started to worry about that, and I started to sweat.
At security he didn't even look at my face he just inspected the license and then inspected my boarding pass never once really looking at my face. I started to think that security wasn't so great after all.
I had no problems whatsoever putting my shoes back on. I realized now that I can bend over and tie my shoe, which I couldn't before. I still can't squat, which is why I was worried, but I learned something and that is another change I am happy to report.
So when I got to the gate they were boarding the last group, so I didn't have a whole lot of time to worry about whether or not the belt would fit.
As they were checking passengers in they announced that the plane was over booked and were taking people who were willing to go on a later flight. I was like what the heck - I will just go with Becky so I asked when the flight was and they said 8:00- 8:00 I exclaimed, but what about the 11:20? Full. Full. Full. Freak out. I could only hope that she got on the 11:20 before it got full. I got on the plane thinking - if B didn't make the 11:20 then we would miss the first nights show...Dang this was freaking me out and I started to sweat.

Boy, this is the stressful trip from hell!
ReplyDeleteTSH only had to make a round trip drive to GV to pick up the white BMW from the repair shop - a smooth ride & Taya seemed to enjoy it too.
We seem to have acquired a part-time visiting cat at Grass Valley, but she (at least I'm guessing a "she cat" - I'm not good at sexing cats) wasn't around. I made sure she wasn't lurking at the Koi Pond looking for snacks & then thought - "coyote food"?
Back to T3's trip - not packing your important meds is quite a blow. A number of years ago we went to Grass Valley & forgot Tyr's meds - we made a special trip to the vet to get some replacement meds & were totally freaked out.
Can't wait for installment $4 of "the Las Vegas trip"
Totally stressful!
