Travel

First off… never take an ambien before an early flight, not even Half of one. I had planned to get up at 2:30 am. My flight was at 7:00 so I figured that would give me lots of time. You know the saying about the best laid plans… I overslept … by two hours. I managed to get out of the house in an amazing 15 minutes. Yes... Dressed and pilled but no coffee or food.
As I said, my flight was at 7:00 with boarding at 6:40. I got on to the courtesy shuttle from parking at 5:54. Smartly I had taken advantage of United's advanced check-in and baggage check, so I dropped my bags with the skycaps and headed for the cattle chute called "security". Made it through with no issues (phew) and to my gate at get this … 6:34! Alas, no time for the restroom or coffee.
