in the saddle

Posted on January 12, 2007 - Filed Under Personal |

Let me start off by saying Miami International Airport is the worst airport ever.  Not only did I have to go through their security checkpoints twice BUT there’s no where in there to get a decent bite to eat.

Every place only had pre-wrapped sandwiches that were probably made fresh this month.

Don’t get me wrong.  If I had eaten a decent meal on the aircraft, which is laughable in and of itself, then the pre-wrapped sandwiches wouldn’t have been half bad.  But the airline meal choice was between chicken and mystery-meat.  If it was beef or pork, I have no idea.  And the service?

Flight Attendant:  Would you like red or white wine?
Clifford:  I’ll have some red wine.  What do you have?
Flight Attendant:  I have chardonnay or . . . . chardonnay.
Clifford: um . . .

Stepping off into LAX felt more like a "mission accomplished" rather than a "coming home".

And to bring it all to a head, I got sick.  With my sinuses packed full, my head now has the density of a bowling ball; my throat is threatening to quit working; and my consciousness seems to last for 15 or 20 minutes before I pass out.

What’s that?  The lady changed her mind?  I now have no place to live.

Ugh.

    Are you serious? She said you can’t live there anymore?

    Yep and just like that too. The email actually came when I was just about to leave France. The timing was bad but in the end, I don’t mind. I’ll find another place.

    I totally disagree. Chicago’s O’Hare is THE worst. We had to, yes, go through security twice. There weren’t places to eat OR restrooms. And, we had to stand in a 1 hour security line behind a Mongolian couple who reeked of dead tuna. Yep, that’s how it happened.
