After a 5 am wake up call this morning and the mad dash to get Dad to the airport on time, now I am ready for a nap!! Or at least another hot cappuccino to keep me awake.
As usual at 6:30 in the morning with 5 flights taking off in less than an hour, the check in at the airport was in it's usual state of chaos! Meaning everyone was trying to jump the queue, or in American English, cut the line. Even at the security check there was an old man trying to get ahead of my Dad. He was so anxious to get on his flight, which incidentally was departing at the same time as my dad, he politely asked to go before my dad. When that didn't work, he kept pushing so close to my dad that he looked like he was going to push him over and jump ahead, or perhaps kiss him!!
As I write this, Dad is on a flight headed for Paris to catch a flight to New York. An amazing feat for an 80 year old man. I wish to have that much spunk and "fashion sense" left when I am that age.
