I used to have dreams about getting to the airport to start my vacation .....traffic jams, trying to call airport to tell them to hold the plane and messing up the number or dropping the quarter for the pay phone, gates closing in front of me. However, that all stopped after on trip where I arrived at the airport after a 3 day ice storm to find flights cancelled...was offered a multiple stop flight down which I took.....but was late for each plane due to circumstances beyond my control....had gates closed, etc.....finally arrived in Kingston at 2:00 am....and then had to get to Negril. Which I did with a taxi (and a driver who had never been to Negril - and arrrived at 9 am) I guess the fact that I got to the island cured me in spite of all the cancellations.
Thank Goodness.
