Travel is such hard work sometimes--but not so bad when you've got a great companion! Don’t you just hate all that running from gate to gate and ending up breathless when you reach the plane?

ZenWizard, I must confess that I have not only been to the National Kielbasa Festival but also reveled in the North American Polkapalooza, held just down the road. One of the best things about quitting my last job, for a company headquartered in Cleveland, was the knowledge that I'd never have to go there again. Why was my response so annoyingly calm while Lisa was climbing the walls? I have been abused, inconvenienced, made miserable, suffered indignities and every form of travel mishap. I know more about the ins and outs of airline operating procedures than any amateur should ever have occasion to know. In the last 20 years I have flown about 3 million miles. The overriding lesson I have learned from all this is to ignore anything that happens that you can't control. And I certainly can't control when the plane takes off. However, once we landed with five minutes to get to the other gate, the ol' adrenaline got pumping. Just like the old days! So glad I could share a nostalgic moment like that with Lisa! --HCFG I certainly enjoyed reading all the comments.

Yay, Team Lisa ;-) @ Bud: Ugh, so sorry to hear. What a yucky experience for you. @ Carolyn: Yes, if HCFG had gone by your scenario, it would not have been good for him... LOL! Thanks for the concern about my knee. As you can imagine, NOTHING was going to keep me from that plane ;-) @ Zen: Comment here please. As to being stuck in Cleveland, I do have to sing their praises. Between getting us on the plane and even better, getting our baggage on the same plane, everyone was really nice. @ Sophmom: Me too, LOL. @ Jay: Yes indeed. At least we got there though. @ Thinking Fool: All you men stick together, eh? ;-) @ Oob: Thanks my friend, I knew you would understand!!! Yay, Team Lisa ;-)

I so scorn having to rush. I think there is really something wrong with this industry that this is an acceptable way to treat customers. Oh, I soooo would have missed that flight too.

You kids and your Internets and your Maroon 5! Anyway, I would have been freaking out, too–the only time you want to get stuck in Cleveland is for the National Kielbasa Festival, in my humble opinion.

Lisa has a bum knee and might not make it! What good’s it gonna do him when he get’s to his mother’s house and only has her toothbrush to introduce around to his family??” Then I re-read your post and realized I mis-read your post just before I posted my own post. Whew! But ya gotta admit, that woulda made a great scene for a sitcom, LOL! Seriously, like you, I, too, am the worrier and Bob’s the happy-go-lucky little s*** in our relationship, so I feel your stress my dear. Glad you made it however. Can’t wait for the next installment ;) When he took your bag and said he was gonna run for it, and asked you if you were gonna be alright, I thought, “What is he taking her bag and running for the plane by himself for?
