I also love time at an airport, so I don't mind being early, but I also appreciate that where I live, you can literally get to the airport 50 minutes before your flight and still make it! (Plus there's no good coffee so no reason to hang out!)Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692782332008518181.post-43345769168580611152015-03-14T15:51:53.474-04:002015-03-14T15:51:53.474-04:00This is somewhat similar to Ray and me.

That all changed when driving from Clearwater Beach to the Tampa airport when there was an accident on the causeway. Our friend, was able to do a U-turn and take us an alternate way...getting us to the airport...just in time! Yes, there was quite an adrenalin rush...and we both were grateful that I insisted we leave much earlier than Ray thought.

My daughter cuts it very close which makes me nervous, but I've learned that she does make it on time. I like sitting with the book and the coffee at the airport, people watching.

Fortunately my husband and I want the comfort and safety of being early so rarely that's an issue. Now my brother-in-law is another story, he wants to arrive as they are loading the plane. Drives me crazy to travel with him. <br />On another note: I think of Larkin as a friend too. I love the glimpse into her world, so different from my "senior" status.

If you weren't in the car by then, you got left and were in for a timeliness lecture when he got home! Glad you had fun at the bball game! There's always next year, right?<br /><br />Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692782332008518181.post-62314003663908539972015-03-14T08:42:48.856-04:002015-03-14T08:42:48.856-04:00I can so relate to the pull and tug that results w...I can so relate to the pull and tug that results when one of a couple needs to be early.
