One Thumb Up
Ok, now here’s where my vacation gets tricky. I’ve got a plane ticket to Lexington from the tiny St. Pete/Clearwater Airport for tomorrow at 4:30pm. That airport, however, is a 50-minute drive from the island my campsite is on. And I don’t have a car.
So I’m planning to pack my bag at about 10am, hike out to the main road, and stick my thumb out. Hopefully some generous soul will have pity and at least take me across the bridges to the mainland, where I can try to figure out the public bus system or something. I figure that I’ve got about four hours, that should be plenty of time to somehow make it across town.
If not … uh … this might just become an extended vacation!

Now if you had a girl with you that might just work. Alone… well, I can hope for good things for you. Only you, Lance!

Haha, nice idea, Steve … but they left a couple of days ago. And HP, that’s the last resort … come on, we’re Webels!
The bag’s packed … Here we go!

Well, thanks to Walter and Maryellen from New Hampshire, I’m here at the airport six hours before my flight. The friendliest of folks, they just happened to be driving right past my destination on their way to Dunedin for some biking.
Hmm, now what can I do for the next four hours until check-in?

Not much. I spend more hours in airports than I care to think about. I usu get some work done, or people watch, or read the paper, or…

They let me check my bags early, so I’m walking around town. Not much to do, but better than sitting on the ground, puppy-guarding my pack!

Man, it’s nice to be home … in my warm, soft bed.

And closer to a certain warm, soft, person… eh?
