Leg #3...CARRY ON my arse! Thinking I am just so smart, I had loaded everything into my little black roll on suitcase I.e.carry on! No purse, I am travelling light, one carry on! NOT!! Boarding flight to Houston, packed flight, so I wait till the cattle are loaded...people everywhere,babies, and more babies! Im in group 5! I think Im sitting in the tail! Show boarding pass...sorry mam, its a very full flight you need to check your CARRY ON to Jacksonville! what? I have everything in there! So sorry mam, the plane is full, very full.... theres no more room for any carry ons. you want me to check a laptop, an iPad, a $5,000 camera, medications, and all personal belongings in an open suitcase through 2 airports? so Take them out he says....so right there, on the floor in front of him and at his feet...Tallulah surfaced! I opened up the bag, took out my book,the laptop, iPad, camera bag and travel blanket,travel pillow,make up bag, wallet, Meds,and toothbrush...my blouse had pockets...so I loaded those too! I zipped it shut, and I handed him back the EMPTY roll on suitcase...knock your self out I said! He didnt know what to say or think! I smiled....tied the travel blanket around me like a pouch and stuffed it full...with the camera bag slung over my shoulder, the travel pillow around my neck...off I went looking like a homeless person travelling for the first time! All the people lined up behind me burst out clapping! It was priceless! Even he started laughing! As I made my way to the tail of the aircraft, I saw many empty overhead compartments I couldnt believe it! I counted every item I had, stored them away and settled in for the 3 hr flight! Arrive in Houston...5:30am...off the plane ....stop at the first kiosk and buy a small carry on bag for $20. ...need coffee! I love flying!
