Fun With Travel

Weather in Houston yesterday was so nasty that my flight from Lafayette to Houston was delayed 1 hour. When you only have a 45 minute layover, this is bad news. We landed in Houston 15 minutes prior to my connecting flight's departure time. I made it across the airport (no easy task in Houston) in 14 minutes. They were closing the gate as I approached.

I almost broke my long standing rule of "I will never run in an airport" in order to make that flight. However, I find that running in airports just results in a miserable sweaty 30 minutes in an airplane seat. I think it is a good rule not to break.

By the way, if you are renting a car, take your driver's license up to the rental counter. Why do people leave this with their travel companion outside of the rental office?

It's funny to see how Z and Sineddie approach the same question differently. In this case, I may side with the opinion that this was just a plain stupid move.
