The suitcase was a little worse for wear, but it was the only large suitcase I had for a week’s travel…Nashville to Atlanta…on to Savannah…Savannah to Atlanta and on to Chicago. It was the Savannah leg that was the last leg! As you wait…you observe the creative ways people choose to recognize their luggage…ribbons, fingernail polish on the steal part of the luggage, color tape on the sides of the luggage, color bands that wrap around the luggage. I personally have none of tho

Well….you stand in line waiting to board a plane….(we all memorize our flight number don’t we?)…they call for zone one and you head to the gate keeper with your ticket…that ticket is scanned and off you go down the stairs schlepping your luggage and you board the plane! Now if you are on a small plane you could be boarding 1 of 3 planes at that gate. The pilot says something funny about the weather in Pittsburg and you laugh….thinking he’s a little quirky and take your seat.
