Truths About Air Travel

Having returned today from a brief respite in temperatures triple what they were here in Titletown, I think I can say without a doubt that there are several inescapable truths concerning air travel. I don't think it matters where one is going or what time of year said travel takes place, here are some absolutes:

1. If there is less than half an hour between connections, a delay will occur (in our case, clearing snow from a runway).
2. If there is less than half an hour to make a connection, your seats will be in the back of the plane (this happened twice, but only once to us).
3. If the stewardess really makes an attempt to get folks out by announcing that people with time should stay in their seats, EVERYBODY will get up and take their time leaving.
4. The less time there is between connecting flights, the farther the connecting gate will be from the arrival gate.
5. Nobody has any patience leaving but everyone is somewhat more relaxed going home (miss beach time or work time? tough call!)
6. The weather will be nicer in the location in which less time will be spent.
7. Home is always nicer than anywhere else.
8. Margueritas will have a normally quiet person shouting "Go Packers" at total strangers on the street.
9. Any trip through Chicago's O'Hare airport will involve a delay of some kind.
10. We continue to fly because it's so much "faster."
More fun stuff coming.
