Travelling....

Let me tell you that traveling by airplane sucks. This past week I traveled to San Diego for my day job. All my travel arrangements were arraigned and paid for by my employer, thus I had no control of it.

1. I traveled with Northworst (Technically NorthWest) and they might be the worst airline.
2. You have to pay for any soft drink, snack, or food on the flight. Every other airline gives this complimentary.
3. You don't even get a ticket, I basically got a tiny piece of paper with a bar code on it to scan at the terminal.
4. Taking off your shoes at security is still kind of lame.
5. I also was not allowed to bring my bottle of water past security. (Unless that Keanu Reeves masterpiece, Chain Reaction, is correct, I don't think water is very dangerous.)
6. A kid in front of me was watching a portable DVD player without headphones, the sound was just blasting throughout the airplane. His parents encouraged this and didn't give him headphones even after a few passengers said something.
7. A 3 1/2 layover in Minneapolis on the way back sucked.
8. A couple passengers brought on 3 HUGE pieces of luggage on the plane instead of checking them. This made no sense. They tell you that you can only bring 2 pieces on, and why not just che4ck the stuff, you don't need them on the plane. There is so much stuff that you can not bring on a plane nowadays that you pretty much have to a checked bag for things like your razor and toiletries. A guy on the way back had 3 bags that were bigger than my checked bag. He slowed down everyone by dragging them down the aisle and then finding a place for them in the overhead compartments, and forced others to not have space for their one bag.

Don't worry there will be more angry travel posts coming soon.
