Less than 48 hours later, we are back at the airport hoping that all flights are on time as scheduled. We unloaded all 12 bags out of Melissa (Kristen's mom)'s car and proceeded inside to check our bags (which of course we no longer had 2 free checked bags…thank you, stupid Continental Air…). Kristen oh so gracefully managed to knock over a sign and several line dividers while maneuvering her luggage. The domino affect received many stares. After a few shifts (and throwing away several beanie babies) all of our luggage managed to be under 50 pounds each.
Into security and we start stripping. Literally. Shoes off, jackets off, bags off. Lyndsay, the half hispanic, sometimes confused to be half Black, girl walks through without problem. Kristen, the blonde whitey, gets "mega-scanned" and then frisked down (apparently they think her boobs are actually bombs). Michelle, the Truman show main character (see previous blog entry), gets mega scanned and then has issues with her bag since they start to open her carry-ons and look through them. Michelle was smuggling liquids onto the plane in the form of OFF mosquito repellant.
We currently sit at a bar, having bloody marys… and our first flight is only 40 minutes delayed. :-)
(Please note: we are writing these as we go but may have to post them later depending on wi-fi availability and cost!)
Hope you guys are having a great time! Can't wait to see the next post. BTW I literally LOLed when you talked about the Truman Show. I can picture Michelle stomping around the airport saying that. HAHA Anyways, keep the posts coming!
