A little wind-burned but we made it

 I thought the airport would be very crowded since it is a holiday week. My concern was that it would, perhaps, be so crowded that we would encounter long waits at the various checkpoints. But we actually moved along fairly quickly.

There was a problem with a retractable handle on my suitcase but the airline was gracious and courteous insisting it would be no problem.

I, along with the suitcase, was duct taped to the outside of the plane, on the wing, during the flight. But other than that the travel experience was quite comfortable and we arrived right on time.

I’m a little wind burned, but it’s all good.
