Why try?????

Just when you think you've thought through everything. . .
My flight from PDX to Chicago was at least 45 minutes late. In Portland we took off late because of a ground crew debacle. This meant when we got to Chicago we were parked in a holding pattern before we could land. My laptop ran out of juice so I'd hoped to recharge it during my lay over. Not so.....

Fortunately, the gate where I arrived was really close to the departing gate of my next flight. But, not until I got to the gate did I realize how late the first flight was. One thing I really appreciate about layovers now is the time to stretch my legs and take a break especially since domestics flights are more like traveling in sardine cans these days.

When I got to the gate I heard the final boarding call announcement and I had to use the toilet as well. Oh no!!! By the way, when ever I travel to Chicago I'm always on the look out for John Cusack. So there I am running with my two carry in items each hand looking like a fool. When I find the restroom it was not very tidy with TP on the floor, yuck! But what I'm I to do.

OK, so I run back to the gate, once again looking the fool. Phew I made it. I didn't get to charge my laptop, oh well. As I handed the attendant my boarding pass I looked down only to see the trail a TP stuck to my shoe. Siiiighhh. Good thing this was not the time I ran into John Cusack.
