I didn't think about the whole hand luggage and taking presents thing, I'm going to have about 3 outfits for the entirety of Christmas.

A rock
A barbed-wired fence
A volcano

An especially Merry Christmas to people that put their bags on the seat next to them at a crowded airport gate.

plane made an "emergency landing" due to "mechanical failure" but there's a puppy wearing a holiday sweater in this terminal so it's ok

Fighting with the guy sitting next to you on the plane for the arm rest and also trying not to touch him #travelproblems

I have received my holiday TSA groping, my pumpkin has been tested for explosives, and I'm seated where I can't see CNN. #airport #travel

It wouldn't be the holidays if there wasn't a two hour flight delay on my flight before I've even showed up to the airport.
