Things That Happen To Me In Airports

October 8, 2017 by Rachel

{This is not an exhaustive list.}

Get majorly lost.

Spend a night on those uncomfortable blue chairs you can’t lay down on.

Pat downs: always.

Security going through my bags and finding that jar of chocolate peanut butter I forgot I’d put in my carry-on. {You didn’t have to laugh when you threw it in the trash.}

Hauling children.

Delays of all sorts.

Confiscation of my pocketknife. Ooops, forgot it was on my key-chain.

Confiscation of my pocketknife AGAIN. Why can I not remember this??

Having to sit near the vagabond who hasn’t washed in approx. 365 days.

Being so early that the flight info isn’t even out nor is any eatery open. Wah, no coffee! #overacheiver

Being so late there isn’t time to sit before boarding the plane. #procrastinator

Sitting on a toilet only to be surprised and horrified by a gloved hand reaching in to my stall from the other side to replace the toilet paper. It’s like a 8×8 inch opening. Blue Gloves can totally see my knickers.

Eat amazing food! {I’m especially looking at you, Copenhagen and Paris.}

Observe remarkable people.

Experience one of the most fascinating microcosms of our world. Travel is the best.
