Planes and snakes ?

[GarterGuy17]

This trip seems so long now because of this 1 hour wait ! So my itinerary is I leave from an airport in NJ at 3:05pm and make a stop to transfer planes in Charlotte , NC I arrive there around 5 pm but I have to wait one hour for my next planes departure that fact is that flight will only be around half an hour why do I have to wait one hour. I wish I could have jade with me , at least I would of had some company ! and pretty nervous actually haven't been on a plane since 2004 all this security has my brain on edge.

Oh...poor John...you'll be okay. It's not actually long...the flights aren't long at all...you'll be fine. I wish you were closer to me so that I could watch Jade for you. If I had the money, I would take the train up and stick her in my pocket and bring her here...because it's only a 35 minute train ride...but the darn trains are so expensive...and it would take me 6 hours to drive to the city and back. She'll be okay...is there anyone that can just look in on her? You'll be fine too...security is a good thing.

I would have taken jade with me if security wasn't so " high maintenance " in a way of speaking ! But maybe something interesting will happen when I arrive in Charlotte that will keep me entertained.

I sure wish I was going away somewhere...somewhere tropical would be nice. With people waiting on me and bringing me little coconut drinks...I don't really drink, but one tropical drink would be nice. The rest could be virgin strawberry margaritas...and I could just lie in the sun...what? huh? Oh yeah...I'm here...

Well me I was born and raised in the city so when I'm offered the chance to go to places like this I jump at the opportunity , I love it out there so peaceful.

Does anyone know of something to do as a past time at the charlotte douglas airport ? really am not looking forward to that one hour wait , I am very impatient !

[EasternGirl]

Oh...I love airports. I always walk around and eat and go in the shops and stuff...but of course, now..you have to walk in and out of detectors and stuff...so with only an hour wait...make sure you find your gate first, then take a look around and see how many lines you would have to go through to get back to your gate and plan ahead...an hour isn't actually that long...and you don't want to miss your connecting flight!

Yea I know that would be terrible , I just can wait to get to that weather mid 70s , here in New York its been below 40 for a couple weeks now some days even went under 20F very very cold. I need some sunshine in my life. I will be taking some videos from fishing maybe some hunting not so sure if I want to do that also other things like paintball here and there , hopefully I find some snakes to document this is what I want to see the most I can wait to see my dog lucky its been about 7 years since I late saw him. This trip has me anxious now but its only Tuesday

Wow...you haven't seen your dog in 7 years? That must be so exciting to get to see him. Sounds like you are going to have a lot of fun. Lots of stuff to do. I really want to try paintball. Definitely look for snakes! Hang in there...you'll be leaving before you know it.

Yes I know , its a sad story actually. When I was there 7 years ago me and my brother went to the pet shop because we were going to buy a dog so we saw these two black labradors one female and one male they were brother. When we asked them the price of the one of the dogs she went back out to the manager when she came back with him they said you can have them both free and we will give you a bag of food it was about 5 pounds worth. When we first got the dogs we noticed the female was very unhealthy she was always laying down and barely ate , we took her to the vet they said nothing was wrong so we take her back home. A few days later we came back from Walmart and were going out back to have a barbecue so I was heading out to the back when I came in from the garage and there she was lying on the floor dead in a puddle of blood mine you I was very very young at the time about 11-12 and I discovered her this way. so we buried he in the back yard and covered her scent with bleach I think or maybe vinigar. but the male survived his name is lucky I cant wait to see him again even though I doubt he remembers me.

All this reminds me of the fact that I can go buy worms at Walmart now ! extra special treat for jade , I'm driving back home with my brother so I can actually bring anything back! Jade will be hungry so I just can wait now for sure !
