Night of '09 Dec 30 - Airport

Last night I had this dream...

Basically, I was scheduled to fly out to New York City all by myself. I've never been good with airports; usually the other people I'm traveling with take care of everything such as boarding passes and baggage checking. So, naturally, I was pretty horrified to learn that I would have to be traveling by myself, across the country no less.

So it's 11:00 am (I was much more conscious of time in this dream; I must have checked my watch a dozen times) so I left to the airport. I got to the airport after an hour of traveling. I already had my boarding pass printed out, but it was in my luggage. For some reason, I had left my luggage at my house.

So, I called up my family and asked them if they could drive my luggage to the house. They didn't have it. So I thought of everyone I could think of.

Now I was in crisis mode. I decided I to figure out the time my flight would begin boarding so I would have an idea of the time frame I was constrained to. Unfortunately that information was on my boarding pass. So, I went to one of the customer service desks and asked "When does the flight to New York begin boarding?" I quickly realized that was an incredibly ambiguous statement.

Finally, I decided it was time to drive down to my house and get my luggage. The people I had called were no help, so it was time to look for it myself.

I found it at my aunt's house.

However, suddenly, I found I had another crisis: what warm things should I pack? Just a jacket? No, it was January; I'd need more than that. What about a jacket and some thermals? Yeah, that worked last time.

Then I woke up.
