Usually I’m on my own to drop off Pixel but Kathy came with me today. It’s always nice to have extra company on the way back home. We’re only boarding Pixel this time. Truffle is going to beRead more

The Rain
May 2, 2023 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 48 °F
The rain is coming down at quite a steady rate. I’m hoping the bad weather isn’t going to delay our flight. Like it’s been said in The Crow, “It can’t rain all the time.”

Bryan is driving us to LaGuardia Airport today. It’s faster and less expensive than having to get there in a taxi or arranging an Uber ride.

We were just dropped off at the Southwest departures terminal and this view of Manhattan caught my eye. I never knew that you could see all of Manhattan from the airport. It looks great!

We had already done the online check in for our flight so our first stop was the TSA checkpoint. I find this to be such a hassle and most of the workers here seem to have real attitude problems.Read more

Kathy wanted a bottle of water to take on the plane with her so we stopped at the first food kiosk we saw to get one. I was shocked to see them charging $4.59! We can buy the entire case of water,Read more

It’s not that early, so I can’t understand why the terminal is so empty. I don’t mind though. I’d much rather have it like this than deal with crowds.

The plane is ready to leave and so are we. Why is there always so much procedure and waiting involved with riding on an airplane? Is it really that complicated? I don’t think so.

I don’t know why Southwest Airlines insists on having a boarding process that’s different from every other airline. All it does is create confusion.
