on the way

Looking back on my travel day from Boise to Giveryn, a few things stuck out. One, united airlines is willing to nickel and dime you everywhere.If a bike box is 50.5 lbs instead of 50 lbs, add another 150 dollars or have people stare at you funny in the airport as you pick and choose what to leave. Two-sleeping on an airplane blows, you either have a kid crying or some sick woman hacking a lung up. Three-avoid the Chicago O Hare shuttle women if at all possible, I have used it 4 times in my life, and all 4 times, the women always are yelling at someone. And lastly, remember that however much your butt hurts or your tired on travel day, the reward of arriving where you want to go will trump your bad feelings most of the time. That is until you get to your house and unload your bike box and see how TSA decided to “repack” it for you.
