And it was, indeed, there and back

I find myself taking for granted things like a trip that goes something like this:

  • Get on the plane
  • Make your connection
  • Get off plane
  • Go to meetings
  • Get on plane
  • Make your connection
  • Get off plane
  • Drive home.

    No delays, no drama, no having to negotiate with gate agents, no running. It seems to happen a lot less these days. Makes for a boring story, but for a much happier me.

    It is because you weren't required to travel through O'Hare, isn't it? I know that MUST be the case!!!

    No ORD, which of course made things perfect. If you must fly from Florida to California -- and apparently I must -- that Houston stop is a wonderful thing. Especially in this case: I had the rare but fantastic experience of connecting at the same gate at which I landed. Usually a 45- minute connection is a challenge, but I just turned around and got back on the same plane.

    Achieving perfection in travel is rare these days, rare enough that it's notable when it actually happens.
