Kitten goes flying with Snoopy. We go flying with nobody. :-((<\/p>\n

UPDATE: She really was a trooper through all of this, handling it with more patience and forebearance than her mommy and daddy.<\/p>\n

It has been suggested that, having missed the 6 p.m. flight, we should have stayed in the security line for another 30-40 minutes, gotten processed through, then go to the gate for the 9:45 p.m. flight and demand either stand-by status or a refund, the idea being that folks would be trapped in the line before they could get on the 9:45 flight.<\/p>\n

A successful resolution in that fashion assumes (a) they would let us through security with a departed flight ticket, (b) a hundred angry 6 p.m. fliers would not already be ahead of us, (c) they would let us change to stand-by, and (d) we would be willing to wait until 9:45 p.m. to find out our fate and deal with it, possibly including having to call out Jackie then <\/em>to pick us up, assuming the police didn’t haul us away for some act of egregious, wanton violence.<\/p>\n

I thought not.<\/p>\n
