Terminus Travel Diary
Aug. 5th, 2008 09:57 amI'm just going to randomly edit this post with updates as I start the endlessly long journey to Terminus.
Am sitting at the Tucson Airport. Nothing makes you feel quite like a criminal like having to strip down to your skivvies in the airport. I had to take off my belt even though it was fabric... which caused my denims to start the slow painful journey southward, resulting in the almost baring of my skivvies. I also really really hope they sanitize the floors in the security area because EW. I had to walk through the thingy barefoot. THEN, I still got wanded by some very scary woman because my UNDERWIRE set off the security system.
So far, only one fee to check my bag. In the end, the lure of shoes and alcohol was too much and I can't go anywhere without at least 4 pairs of shoes. My suitcase was half empty so I had to pack more shit to pad the alcohol bottles.
Feei pinged me from the train and OMG. STILL SO EXCITED! I called![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
midnitemaraud_r last night and I think I deafened her with my squee.
My plane is supposed to be boarding NOW but, instead, I'm still sitting here.
Am writing porn with my back to the room so I hope anyone looking at my screen gets a nice little chuckle over it. I'm all about the sharing and caring. Door opened, I might be boarding. Wish me luck, I got stuck in the middle seat on every. one. of. my. flights (all 4 of them. I hate my travel plans).
ETA: Phoenix was all right even though it was the smallest plane ever. Oh and I forgot to mention that the lady with US Air in Tucson told me I was being "flighty and stupid" when I asked about if I had to recheck in when I switched airlines. Wow. Great customer service. Bitch.
The lack of customer service continues as I arrive in Omaha. Every person here, from the check in people to the security people to the people at the A&W stand to the newspaper place where I bought a diet coke have been really really rude. The only person that hasn't glared at me or snarled at me for DARING to interrupt their personal convos was the cop and the shoe polish lady who was very nice about directing me to the other terminal to get on my next flight. Which meant that I started through security and they cockblocked me on that and made me go check back in and then I had to go back through where I got the pleasure of going through the extra security because I'd already attempted entry. What the fuckity fuck. Stupid assholes. I really do not like the Omaha Airport.
The "free" wifi costs 3.95 a day. So I'm off to try to spend as much internet time as possible for my 3.95. My flight is delayed and I'm bored :(.
