Oh intrepid traveler

My flight was delayed last night. Now let me see if I can make you feel sorry for me:
It was delayed 4 hours
It was on the home from vacation
I was alone with 7and8
It was a Sunday night so all airport businesses were closed
Last flight of the night
All luggage checked

I could go on but you know what? It wasn't that bad. Sure it would have been better if it was on time, but I am a firm believer in "you don't know what you are capable of until you have to .

There was the "seasoned" traveler who promptly marched up to the desk and raised hell. He told them how this wouldn't happen in Philly, and bla bla bla. Guess what? His bitching didn't make the plane go faster. I'm sure he is the guy who is so used to traveling he pisses of wait staff so that his burger gets the lugee treatment. In contrast, there was the group watching the game who made a laugh-riot out of the situation. What a great crowd. Don't forget the Indian couple who where punking all of their friends with a whoopee cushion. And let me add myself to the list. I was quietly entertaining my kids with reading, tic-tac-toe, magic tricks, playing action figures, etc. (pretty awesome if you ask me).

To those who think bitching will make the plane go faster I say you deserve every increase of BP point you get. Take a load off and laugh at those who make farting noises.

While posting late on this, I have to agree.... in the last 2 months of traveling I have seen large numbers of people yelling at the ticket agents.... as if in some way they are not going to magically find a plane just for them. Lighten up and deal with it.
