Travel advisory

BD, tell your coworkers I'm sorry about that extra 200 pounds I had a couple years ago.

Oh, and good luck with your new gig, man. It sounds fun.

 

I hear those bankrupt airlines treat their employees better than the profit-making newspapers.

 

I saw that episode. Pretty impressive.

Before a trip I always pack what I want to take, then get rid of about half. More often than not, I never miss the stuff I tossed.

 

I do my part by never flying.

 

Dude, between the shoes, the makeup, the hair curler, the hair straightener, the day clothes, the evening clothes...it's not easy!

 

Packing less is a lesson I definitely learned when I went to Europe last year for the Winter Olympics in Italy and to other places, too. I had weather issues to deal with, but I easily could have left some stuff back home.

 

I am an underpacker and my wife is an overpacker. I will never forget our first trip back east to visit our parents, where there was a washing machine and a dryer. I wanted to pack on the weekend before we were going, and she said not to worry, she would pack.

I can back from work that day, took one look, and said we were going for a couple of weeks, we weren't moving back there.

Unless you are going to a remote jungle, there will be stores wherever you are going so if you forget something, you can buy it.

 

Most of my road trips are drive trips.

So I pack what the fuck I want.

Which is oftentimes too much.

But my lacrosse sticks come in handy on the road. It's fucking hot down here in the South. I tend to sweat. As Det. Crockett once said, "You gotta go with the heat, Rico."

Now, a plane trip, that's different.

Well, no it isn't.

I pack too much on those, too.

But those TSA Nazis only allow two bags. So I adjust.

 

When did the weight limit drop to 40 pounds, I thought it was 50?

 

Slappy, the weight limit is 50 before you pay extra. We ask for just 40 to save on us and, of all things. fuel. The less weight, the less fuel we burn to get you somewhere.

And no, Agate, you can't blame me. If you changed from PBI to PNS in mid trip, then it's on you. We're lucky to get the stuff where it's supposed to go in the first place right. Just imagine how tough it is when you change stuff up.

 

I'm hoping he meant planes, not plans. I don't think anyone changes plans in Atlanta, unless it's to kill themselves in that airport.

"We don't have 1/3 as many seats as we need, our main terminal looks like Bosnia with refugees splayed everywhere, but hey, look! Singing sinks in the women's restroom!"

I hate connecting in ATL.

 

I'm going to be a rookie commerical flyer this summer.
What's your No. 1 rule for flying to make boarding easy?
