Airport Chronicles

Both Fern and I were shocked when we transformed into turtles, but we had to persevere. I picked Fern up in front of her apartment — 5-star service, if I do say so myself.

She was cranky from the start, so I really had to keep a smile on my face.

We arrived at Terminal E, much to Fern's dismay (there isn't a good lounge in Terminal E). First, the check-in counter made us check our bags even though they were under the weight limit, then they didn't put TSA PreCheck on our boarding passes. Fern found solace in her incoming Stella beer. Dun dun dun... they were sold out, so she had to settle for a way-too-bubbly Blue Moon. Just as she thought her day couldn't get any more disappointing, her turkey club without bacon came with bacon — melted into the cheese (not even removable). ***Can you tell we were both feeling a little crazy?***

Finally, we boarded our four-hour overnight flight, and Fern had to buy an $18 WiFi package, which, spoiler alert, didn't work. See pissiness below...

But all was better when she saw Ink fast asleep — double chin PROMINENT, and she had a photoshoot without permission.

Fern got her "happy ending" (AKA when the lady in front of her reached up inside of her pant leg and stroked her ankle 4 times while Fern pretended to be asleep).

All in all, we are dramatic and made it safe and sound! We can't wait to share about our first day in the Azores in the next post!
