Travel is a great way to see new things

Escape from your familiar surroundings

Break your normal routine

Shake things up a little

Getting to a place is often stressful

Deciding what to pack

Will the houseplants die while we are away

Who can we trust to check on the house

What time should we leave for the airport

Will there be time to eat after check in

I forgot what size liquids you can take on the plane

The taxi we booked is late

There are long lines at the check in counter

We will never make the flight

More long lines at security 

If we run to the gate we might just make it

Boarding not started yet but something is wrong

A sign says flight delayed but no reason or new time

Angry passengers swarm around the staff at the desk

Will we still make our connection

The gate is a mob scene with passengers scrambling to board

Tired staff suffer more verbal abuse from angry passengers

We eventually get to our seats

No space left in the overhead compartments

The in-flight TV screen is broken

Weary flight attendants selling overpriced food and drink

After a long line for the bathroom I find it filthy

I wish I had stayed at home

Fortunately the connecting flight is late too

Finally arrive at the destination

Too tired to unpack today so its living out of a suitcase

I just realized I forgot to bring my medication
