dr._jay Posted December 21, 2001 Posted December 21, 2001 so i drag my ass out of bed before 5:30 a.m.-- which is no fun i assure you especially when there is no climbing to be had--to drive to the airport and find a place to park my car. what a scam that is--the cheapest place was $7/day at some run-down motel. i get to the airport to find way too many people in some very long lines. and they all seem to be happy about it! too many morning people in this world, i guess. so i pay the curbside guy a couple bucks to avoid some of the mayhem and then find a line streching across the airport just to go through the metal detector. i wait for almost an hour for the pleasure of getting a rubdown with the wand looking for everybit of metal on my person. i guess us guys don't have it so bad though, some chick in the line next to me had some metal in her bra so they kept scanning her boobs and asking her what she had in there--it was pretty funny but i wasn't in such a laughing mood by this point. just remember to leave the steel-support briefs at home. so i finally get to my gate and the plane has already left, the one guy behind the counter gives me the "sucks to be you" look and tells me i have to come back in 8 hours for the only other flight available. i got to drive all the way home in some fun seattle traffic to sleep for a few hours and do it all again, lucky me. just another example of why air travel should be avoided at all costs.so if any of you are flying for the holidays then be prepared, i feel for you, and if you're driving then more power to ya. and if you're climbing then you suck because i am jealous!have a fine holiday whatever you do and now i gotta run so i don't miss the plane again.Cheers.
