I usually have an admirably high tolerance for travel-related hassles, but for some reason, today was particularly irritating.
Maybe it's because this is my 8th trip back and forth to Chicago since November. Maybe it's because so many more people are traveling over Christmas this year versus other years (it seemed to be nearly as many as Thanksgiving). Maybe it's because I didn't get much sleep last night (I had a nightmare about a big snake that was lost somewhere in our house, probably spurred on by my mom having a big lizard in her house, yuck).
Somehow the taxi driver was late and didn't know where he was going, the passengers were more numerous than usual, needed showers, and were personal space encroachers, I got chosen for "additional screening" for the first time since 2001, the flight was quite bumpy, the luggage was late, the parking lot shuttle was even later, and it all just got to me more than usual.
I remember when I used to think flying was fun... or at least, productive quiet time. Maybe it will be again after the holiday travelers cease traveling.
I think when we do end up moving, I'm not going to get on a plane for a very long while.
