Hurry ,hurry, hurry wait!

Today is a travel day and we all know that includes a lot of waiting.

First of all we had to wait for the shuttle bus, then we had to wait for the counter to open. In Japan nothing opens one second before it’s supposed to. Doesn’t matter how many people are waiting. Anyway we’re up the front of the line, we should be through in no time.

No, there was some problem with our paperwork, computer A didn’t know what computer B wanted and keep spitting us back out. We were both getting a bit nervous by this time. Is something wrong with the ticket, the visa, our passports? What? Nobody seemed to know. Eventually we got taken down to some head honcho and she bashed away on her computer for a bit and we were sent back with our first girl. After another ten minute wait finally we got through.

Thank goodness, I needed a coffee, but no, the coffee places weren’t open, so we had to wait for that as well.

Waited till the end to board the plane. Got everyone seated and guess what, no runways available, waited on the tarmac for half an hour.

I could go on, it didn’t finish there but you get the drift. The joys of plane travel!Read more
