Ever miss your flight home???

Twice...once when I was a kid...slept in but managed to get another flight at no extra charge (good 'ol days) ...second time they'd not informed me the flight had changed.

LaPurr...it's sad the driver didn't grab another driver & get your daughter to the airport on time...would have been so easy smeasy! Or,was it your daughter driving a rental car? That would suck!

As much as my kid loves negril this was her first time staying in St.Elizabeth, with a group of girls for her best friends moms wedding... So she was in the country...and I guess rides are not as accessible ? Is this true?

I can't imagine why drivers would be less accessible...

Well, almost missed the flight.... Last year, we arrived at the airport in plenty of time. Checked in, made sure the times & flight was on time etc. Checked the big flight board. Wife and went to our boarding gate, settled in. Then went shopping, and I waited til the end to buy the booze, Then I heard wifey yelling at me..."Their calling our names on the loudspeaker"!!!! Holy crap! Then I heard it too! The plane is going to shut the door, and take off, So, I proceed to do the O. J. Simpson run, leaping over chairs, little children {just kidding} Wife is behind me, and here to find out, they had changed the boarding gate on this particular flight, since we thought we were good to go, and still in that drowsy contented state of mind, after just spending 10 amazing days in Negril ! I guess we just didn't hear about the gate change. So, we get to the new check-in gate, and I'm just dying !!! Ya, know "out of shape" 50 something guy. Literally, thought I was going to have to lay down right there on the floor in front of the TSA guards. They sent wife thru, and lo and behold, the guards held me back! Had to do all the security things, swabbed me completely, shoes & socks off, opened up the carry on luggage, went through all that, kinda took their sweet time too! Then they decided I'm o.k. to get on the plane, finally!! Oh my gosh, the looks we received from the other passengers as we walked down the isle !!! If looks could kill. So, wife and I were split up, and I sat down by a nice older lady, and she assured me that we weren't the only ones to have not heard the message earlier about the gate change, but since we were the last ones to get on the plane we took the brunt of the stares. So, I guess don't always take for granted that evry'ting is kocher with boarding gates and or times. But, hey you know what I'm talking about when I mentioned that feel-good state of mind after spending time in paradise....Negril !!!
