Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It’s Off to DC We Go

Well, it is Thursday morning and the Pirañas are at Will Rodgers World Airport preparing to depart for Washington DC.

They are off to a great start! Obi overslept and instead of waking to a 5:00 am alarm (he set it for 5:00 pm) he woke up to realize it was 5:55 am and he was late! Talk about clock time vs. chip time…Obi clocked a 5 minute prep and was out the door.

T3 picked up Mav and they headed to the airport to meet Obi and Samsonite’s parents in front of security. Once in the security line the Pirañas drew attention to themselves by failing to comply with TSA regulations. T3 heard the guy say, “make sure that laptop runs by itself.” To which he thought, “of course it does, it is a laptop, that is the whole point.” Unfortunately, the TSA guy meant that the laptop had to go through the screening machine “by itself”, which is a slightly different thing. For some reason, it upset the TSA guy that T3 put his laptop in with his other stuff which caused the whole thing to have to be re-run and the whole line to grind to a halt.

Once in the terminal proper the Pirañas were greeted with the news that their 7:30 departure to DFW had been delayed to 8:50 which happened to be 5 minutes after their connecting flight was scheduled to depart. So some calls to 1800americanairlines got them re-booked on a later flight out of DFW to DC and all is presently well….
