Going to Las Vegas today with my husband. We are going for the long weekend to see the Taylor Swift concert. Sounds fun right? (I’m sure it will be ctuslly…once we get there.)
The unfun part is getting there.
Last night I asked my husband what time we needed to be ready to walk out the door. He said 11:15am. Now, whenever we go out of town, in addition to packing for the trip, I need to leave instructions for our house/pet sitter (these are very detailed), do all the dishes, clean the kitchen, take the garbage out, make the bed, set up the guest room & general pickup. I HATE to come home to a messy house.
My husband – he packs his stuff.
Today, after doing all my stuff, as well as taking the dogs on a 1.5 hour walk, was ready as instructed at 11:15 (few minutes early actually.)
We left around 11:35am. With husband saying in car how there was a chance we will miss our flight. What??
Get to our office where we left my car to take a cab to SFO (this was an attempt to save time as long term parking shuttle is chancey.)
In the cab on the way to SFO he got a call from Southwest that our plane was just delayed 2 hours. Guess we won’t miss the plane…
We get there, we wait in line, we finally get all bags checked and we are set….to wait 2.5 hours. Husband says he is calling his brother to come pick us up so we can all go have lunch. What??
His brother is probably 15-20 minutes away (easily.) I feel this is silly. This is a big airport. Let’s just find a restaurant, sit down & have lunch. Not interested in waiting for pick-ups, driving around, parking, etc. etc. I rush around all the time in life – can’t we just sit down? So I ask “Why the heck can’t we just sit down??”
He goes on to explain his mode of travel…which is much his mode in other things. Why be early? It’s a waste of time when I have other things to do.
I can agree with this theory for a lot of occasions. I have a hard time sitting around & doing nothing but sometimes I just want to not rush around and stress. You can enjoy every minute even if chilling for some of them. But not sure he can at all.
This is one way we are very different. And traveling REALLY spotlights it. I’m just amazed I haven’t punched him yet :)
Ok, rant over! Time to go to our gate soon. I will post more about LV I am sure!!
