In Flight

[bjarvis]

In other news, the slight sniffle I had over the weekend grew into a sore throat and coughing as my body tried reflexively to eject the crud accumulating in my lungs. As of last night, I wonder if I might have mild bronchitis but today I'm feeling much better –probably due to aspirin and a cough suppressant to make the flight home a bit more comfortable. If this doesn't improve in the next 24 hours, however, it'll be time to visit my local clinic.

I was a bit rushed getting to the airport this afternoon. While I left the office in what I thought was a sufficient amount of time, I got stuck in a 1.5 mile long stop-and-go traffic jam because of an accident on the southbound 101. Even after getting past that and making my way to the airport, I discovered the rental car drop-off is nearly 15 minutes' drive on the other side of the airport. At least Enterprise's drop-off was uneventful and the shuttle bus to terminal 4 left almost immediately, but it did take another 15 minutes to get back.

Security was sluggish but I made it to my gate at Southwest just as my boarding group was starting to move (I was A58). I still haven't tied my shoelaces. Whether my suitcase made it on board is still an open question but there's nothing critical in it.

Yeah, if you're going to lose your luggage, it's best to lose it on the way home.

Fortunately, my suitcase did make it onto my flight so all was well. Yay!
