Ireland Road Trip

Oops… it was bound to happen. My first somewhat major fuck-up as a traveller. I admit, I’ve been getting lazy and idealistic. I don’t pack as carefully as I used to, because I seem to do it so often that I feel comfortable enough knowing that I’ve got all the essentials. But, once in a while it means you forget something small. This time it was a hairbrush. Obviously, that’s not the major fuck-up. I’ve also been getting lazy with timing. I’m a late person. I admit it. I’m always just a little late for everything. I try not to, but I really can’t help it. So I’ve been getting to the airport later and later, with less and less time to spare, yet always make it. Except this time. Major fuck up? I thought I allowed enough time, because I try to always carry-on my luggage. I’m used to just needing enough time to get my boarding pass, get through security, and to the gate. And, I find Schiphol to be very efficient, so I rarely wait long to do any of those. But this time, Lindsey was with me, and she had to check her bag. And when we only got to the airport an hour before take off, we missed the cutoff for checking bags by the time we got to the counter. [read on]
