Tampa (Part Dos)

I can't believe I'm here again ...

So, I'm back in the Tampa airport ... this time on my way to West Palm Beach, rather than on the way back from WPB. And again, my flight is delayed. I pretty much hate the luck associated with this place.

But there are some upsides to this little voyage already:

? The line for ticketing at Houston-Hobby Airport sucked. I got there super early (thanks to Mobin and Meah for letting me stay with them and taking me to the airport so freakin early!) and was told the line was about 30 minutes long. I waited for about 10 minutes, till we rounded a corner ... and there it was, like a flashing beacon ... literally, cause there was a guy standing there with a flashlight ... the "No Baggage Check Lane" with no one in it. It called to me and I bypassed what would eventually be a 1.5 hour wait according to the guy behind me that actually had to wait in it.

? I heart Southwest Airlines! I got not one, but two Diet Cokes ... and I didn't even have to start a jihad for them. How 'bout them apples, Continental?!?

? I played "Spot the Tranny" on the plane here and I totally spotted one! If only Mana and a bit of alcohol were with me, the game, I feel, would have picked up.

? As much as the luck associated with this place sucks, the one thing it has going for it is the free wireless internet that is making this blog possible. It was also brought to you by the letter "H" and the number "3.14"

? The airport (like every other one in the world) also has a bar. Praise be to Jesus, Allah, God, Yahweh, Vishnu, and whatever other divine spirit had a hand in it. I'd pour a little beer out for you, but the lady with the mop might frown upon those types of actions.

And that about wraps up the positives of the trip thus far.

I'm now going back to the bar, since my plane has been delayed another 15 minutes. (Seriously... Jesus, Allah, God, Yahweh, Vishnu, and whatever other divine spirit ... where were ya'll on that one???)


Merry Christmas to all ... and to all, a good day!

And so goes the life ...
