“Dangit!” I screamed because I spilled coffee on my uniform. I’m having a really bad day. First, I forgot my cell phone in Phoenix, so I can’t get it until I fly back tomorrow.

I am in my late-fifties and my landings have been getting worse and worse over the past year. “Do you need help, sir?” Asked a woman as I was getting in line

I looked to Kyani for the look of reassurance, knowing that neither of us knew what we were doing, and after the six-hour delay we suffered, trying to roam a foreign airport at 12am didn’t seem like the most exciting of endeavors.

At the end of June, my family and I set out on an almost week long vacation to New Orleans, Louisiana. We headed to the Cedar Rapids airport on Saturday June 27, and our plane was scheduled to leave at 11:30 am. After we boarded our plane in Cedar Rapids, we had to travel to Atlanta, Georgia for a connecting flight. There would have been minimal layover time because our flight from Cedar Rapids left late, however, when we arrived in Georgia there were some delays because a strong storm system was
2011 summer an experience in my life I would never want to be different. I was just eleven and while I like to consider myself already grown up this trip I was about to take was truly going to but this belief I had to the test. Upon arriving at the airport, I was feeling, a mixture of emotions to be able to finally go to Mexico.
