nala was nice enough to take me to the airport this morning, so I could catch my flight to Cleveland. But, knowing that it was Continental, I shouldve expected problems.

First, our flight didnt arrive in Columbus as scheduled... they never made an announcement that there was a problem. It finally arrived just at the time we were supposed to be on the ground in Cleveland.

They were not holding the Cleveland flight.

We asked the flight attendant which gate we would be landing at, in order to gauge how long it would take to run through the airport. Sorry, she said, it's in a completely different concourse, separated by a tunnel, 2 escalators, and a peoplemover. Not to mention, the gates were on the furthest ends of the concourses from each other.

"We'll have a cart waiting for you at the gate."

And they did. To their credit, they helped us make our flight. 3 carts later, we boarded, but not before one of the travellers got snagged in a random search.

However, there was a group of 5 behind us who barely made it because they couldnt get another cart dispatched quickly enough. Such insanity.

When I arrived in Hartford, my luggage was all there. (YAY!) AND I got a free upgrade in my rental car (to a 4-dr Cavalier! Just like mine!) AND I got express pickup. Insane. Drop you off at your rental car, with the keys already waiting. Sign nothing. Just pick up and go. Scary, really.

And, then I made my way to Lowell, with the help of my trusty Avis map, and followed the traffic to downtown, where Matte and Annalisa live, and drove around till I found the address... It wasnt too hard, but the one-way streets kind of made it a little more confusing.

So, I'm not in Ohio. I'm here. In Lowell, typing away.
