Somewhere between checking in and getting to the gate, my usual luck kicked in.
For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been playing with the flight tracking widget in Mac OS X “Tiger,” pleased that my flight to San Jose has consistently been about 15-25 minutes early every night.
Until, of course, I was scheduled on it. When I arrived at the gate, I couldn’t believe my eyes: the 6pm flight now will be departing — barring another delay — at 7:30. Poor Diego has been in the pet carrier for about an hour now, and he’s starting to get a bit frazzled… but he has another 9 hours to go. And once you’re in the airport, there’s no where you can step outside with a pet. It’s really hot here in the airport, and soon I’m going to have to get him some water.
My luck. Welcome to it.
