A: Have your phone (YAY!) but miss your flight and your best friend's rehearsal dinner.
B: Be incommunicado. "Go dark" as Jack Bauer would say. Be scared, confused and alone because what in the eff did I do before I was attached to this device?
I reluctantly chose B. However, OMG - had to tell peeps what was going on! So I popped out the laptop + aircard and started frantically sending emails (only when the train was not in the tunnel - sigh). Within minutes Megan, Lindsey and Austin had sent me their cell phone numbers and I wrote them down circa 1995 AKA the last time I didn't have my own cell phone. By the way, yes, you read that right, I did not know my husband's cell phone number. And you know what, who does? I mean really. Your communication device stores all of that for you. Sigh.
So I get to the airport and you heard it here first, there are no clocks at Hartsfield-Jackson. Really? Of ALL the places to not have clocks, clocks and more clocks? So i'm asking people for the time. You would've thought I was asking them for their first born they were so taken aback. I get to the gate (finally, after whining about my phone to at least 4-5 "friends" I met in security and on the train) and I'm the last one on the plane. MADE IT!
Oh but not yet... I had to battle a flight attendant... More on that tomorrow. In the meantime, know that I'm safe and alive in Virginia with my besties and had a BLAST last night! Lindz is taking all the pics this weekend and hooker forgot her camera cord so I'm going to be a picture-less blogger until Monday. I know, true story. BUT, I'll post Travel Diaries Part 2 of 2 tomorrow, starting with the Airtran employee who messed with the wrong person yesterday.
I'll leave you with this someecard - notice the section it's in at the top left... hehe Bye for now!
Q: Are you dependent on technology? If no, have you ever been in a situation where you would discover that you are? If no, then you might be... :)
Q: Has this ever happened to you before?
