Is a 'Travel-Day' fun any more?

My sister was travelling today, from Vancouver to Maui, I heard from her at the airport. It was chaos beyond description, not only for her but thousands of others out there today. The carry-on regulations were changed, or should I say eliminated. Repacking on the airport floor does not make for a happy traveller. Pity people with small children!

Who to blame? And we have to have somebody to blame don't we? Terrorists, idiots, officials, there is no point, it is what it is, take it or leave it. Such is a trip to the airport today.

One never expects a great day on a 'travel day' any more. At one time it was an enjoyable part of your vacation. Those days are gone, forever. Once again a few rotters have spoiled it for the majority of law abiding people.

When 'going somewhere' one can at least look forward to the 'vacation' part of the trip. And, I suppose, 'coming home' can also be looked upon as a pleasant end to a lousy day of travel.

The airport routine is now a matter of holding your breath and just take whatever crap gets thrown at you. YOU are not in control basically from the time you walk into the airport until you walk out of it at the end of a gruelling day, or days in some cases.

However, who has any sympathy for someone going away for seven weeks no matter how bad the travel-day could be?

We [Fellette] has almost finished the packing while I concentrate on tying up loose ends for the build. Nine more sleeps.

The bags are about to be closed...
