I'm So Exciting
Our travels to Oregon yesterday were fairly smooth. The only trouble we had is that our luggage did not get successfully transferred from the MKE-ORD plane to the ORD-PDX plane in time, so our bags were delivered to us this morning. No big deal at all.
Speaking of the luggage, here's an interesting tale from the MKE airport. After we checked in, we put our three bags in the spot where the agent could properly tag them. The agent completed his task and handed the boarding passes to Jenelle. Clearly excited by the fact that we were on our way to Oregon, Jenelle grabbed the passes and began the walk toward the gate. What she forgot is the agent mentioning that we had to take our three pieces of checked luggage (weighing a total of about 60 pounds) to the big x-ray scanners about 20-30 yards from the ticket counter.
Standing by the three bags, watching Jenelle leave me behind, and laughing inside at her oversight, I said, "Oh, I guess I'm supposed to carry these." I slung my carry-on backpack over my shoulders, hoisted the dufflebag-style luggage over my left shoulder, and grabbed the handles of the remaining two suitcasess, one with each hand.
As I began my trek to the scanners, Jenelle quickly realized her mistake. She looked back at me with the cutest "oops" smile I've ever seen. "You need any help with those?" she asked with a chuckle. "Nah, I got 'em," was my reply, also with a chuckle. We were soon on our way to the gate.
If more interesting things happen to us while we're out here, I'll be sure to post them. Have a great weekend, all!
