Hurry up and wait

September 1, 2024

Brian and I set out from the house 3 hours before our flight.  Things were a little hectic getting our guns checked in and some jitters about whether my new TSA  pre check ID would work properly.  We confidently strode past hundreds of people in the "standard" check in line.  Then the couple right in front of us got booted to the end of the standard line because their TSA pre check wasn't working right.  Gulp.

No problem as it turned out, we got right through but it looked like we were going to arrive at the gate just as boarding was going to start. We got to the gate but no plane was there.  20 minutes later a plane pulls up but there's a "minor maintenance issue" that is so minor they could not give us a projected boarding time.  

Ugh.  Typical travel mishaps I guess.

Ultimately, they boarded us about 40 minutes later but then made us sit on the plane for another 3+ hours while they worked on the broken water pipe to one of the restrooms.
