Very few nice people, rude and pompous jerks. But it is better than hours or days on the road. We need them more than they need us. In the future I am arranging for a wheel chair to meet and greet at the airport. Let someone else fight the crowd and the long distances to the terminal.

And I have no control over what happens to me once I'm stuck inside that tin tube.<br /><br />Crammed in like livestock. And I always end up with some plague victim in the seat next to me. Coughcoughcough, hackhackhack. Always too far to walk (a bad knee or two of my own and hey, let's not forget the less-than-successful ankle surgery of last summer) and I know I'm not the only person who thinks having to pay a baggage fee is complete bullshit!Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353667980806676067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926528617816553064.post-53038323918845954172017-02-12T21:19:16.656-07:002017-02-12T21:19:16.656-07:00You know better than most of us.

A multi-million baggage handling system that has never worked properly. Four Denver Police radar cars most of the time working Pena Blvd and the E470 cloverleafs. New light rail line from Downtown that keeps failing. Inadequate drainage in the deicing pads. And the list goes on.Well Seasoned Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670165728759453075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926528617816553064.post-5853365289005582402017-02-12T15:56:45.365-07:002017-02-12T15:56:45.365-07:00I hate flying through DIA.

But when you stop there, it's a half hour ride to the rental cars - fine in the summer, less fine in the winter. I was there once when there was a tornado warning.<br /><br />Glad you're home in one piece and you can recover from vacation.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.com
