« Taxi | Main | Albuquerque »
Our plane was late leaving. The estimated time of departure was ten minutes late when we arrived at the airport. Shortly after we seated ourselves at the gate, we learned that the delay had been extended to 40 minutes. This necessitated a call to the car rental agency.
The 800 number I was given with the reservation was worthless. I was given the rental agency’s 800 number. Alas, they too had nothing to offer me but the number of the local site. These folks (whom I contacted after we had boarded) were reassuring.
In the meantime, we boarded and sat. The realization dawned on me that we were waiting for the passengers from another plane to join us. Once we were in our seats, our third seatmate joined us. She had run from her connecting flight, which was late getting in from Fargo, because it was late boarding. It was late boarding because of weather in the Twin Cities. More late arrivals showed up. I felt sorry for them since all the prime overhead space had been taken up already. Heaven only knows if their luggage followed them.
