I had plenty of time on Thursday morning for a good breakfast, re-check of my bag (I still forgot a couple items!) and actually leaving in plenty of time. I brought Aura (my cat) to Mom's while I'm away, so she had a friend drive me to Tampa. I got out of the car with my duffle bag and back pack and proceeded to the gate. As I went to check in, I realized there was one important item left in the car: my purse (think "passport" and "cash"). I didn't have John, the driver's, cell number. Quickly, I called Mom - not home. her neighbor, no answer. So I tried 411 and found John's home number. Thankfully, his wife was home, called his cell, and he returned.
With an hour to go, I easily got through security and to my gate. For a moment, though, it looked like I would miss this trip. I have got to slow down!!
The travel part is always the tough part. In 25 hours (I've accounted for the time difference) I will be at Entebbe.
You are not alone! :) I was flying in uniform and did not have my ticket or military ID. My unit had to fax copies to the airport. They were not happy.
