Re-visit, part 3

I have read an alphabetical toughts and other bits of meaningless trivia by my friend. Well, I am going to use some of his topics (sorry, Kurt).

Airplanes: I remember my first flight out. I was supposed to leave Detroit to go to St. Louis at night, but that flight was cancelled. So, we stayed a night and went to fly out of Detroit. Well, as we were taxiing away, I was so nervous that I pop piece after piece of gum in my mouth, LOL. Then as we took off, we hit an air pocket. I was like what was that?

On one of the trips back from Hawaii, we had a three hour layover at San Francisco airport (SFO). Well, I went to say bye to my seatmate who is leaving on Alaskan Airlines to go to Portland. As I went through the metal detector, I was going to take off my ring. The people told me that I did not need to. Well, when I went back to my airline (Northwest), my ring did set off the detector and I told them about Alaskan Airlines. They told me that each airline is different. This is before 9/11, folks. It was Jan. 2001. At that time, each airline has their own security. Now, I know why our security in the airports failed at 9/11. It was bad.

My first flight after 9/11 was June of 2002. Detroit airport was a mess. I was not that happy at the time. My last flight to anywhere was Aug. of 2003. I flew out of Columbus (CMH). I was happy with their security. It had improved.That flight, we had a jewel of a ticket agent. My flight was delayed because the flight crew got in late and need their eight hours of rest. So, that ticket agent told us that he will get us to Hawaii that day. Well, we took American to Chicago O'Hare and then United the rest of the way. Well, I got my wish, I went in Chicago O'Hare airport. I like it. Main reason is that every time I go to WI, I usually go by O'Hare airport. It was my goal to go there. I was very happy and I did like the airport.
