Marilynne - you bet I will. I arrived at the airport about 1 pm yesterday for a 2:40 flight. Machine wouldn't print my luggage tags; so I got in a line and I stood and stood. Only when I got reasonably close did I discover that MY line went to ONE agent while the line near it fed to 5 agents and nothing to distinguish between the two. Also, when I first got in it, I thought it was all one line.

By the time I figured it wasn't, I decided to stay put, but the people ahead of me were unbelievably slow. I finally, when I reached the point when I was next in MY line, RAN when the agent called next in the other line and beat out someone who had not been there anywhere near as long as I had been.

Gave the agent a real blast - this is the first time I've travelled on my own for quite a long time. DH has Elite status and we go through the executive class check-in. A real eye-opener seeing how they treat the average passenger. I told him I'm not likely to travel AC on my own ever again if I have a choice not to. Anyway, apparently after I blasted the agent, they came and invited the man behind me to be served shortly. I asked him as he reached the gate not long after I did.

But I think I should get outside while the weather's good. Supposed to be crappy tomorrow. Am not functioning particularly well. got home about 11, stayed up till 2 with unpacking, eating, laundry and the time change. Didn't get to sleep until around 3 and then Ottawa DD (maybe not DEAR today) telephoned before 7:30. I didn't talk to her - just grumped. Jeez - who taught that kid? Never before 8 on a Saturday (which is when I had the alarm set for) and really not before 9 unless one knows the person well.

Anyway, I have few pics. Bananas are a big hit. I guess a couple of weeks ago she made it VERY clear she wanted to feed herself. Might have a south paw here.
