Not sad about this at all… As you will have read our inbound Qantas flight was delayed by 3.5 hours leaving us an hour to connect to our Raleigh-Durham flight.  Minutes and seconds count, we are held outside the stand for a few minutes TICK TOCK.  We were taught to respect the elderly, so when they are moving at a snails pace in front of you you just patiently wait for them to take their time, TICK TOCK, excuse me 2 people coming through I would politely say.  Of course, being elderly they are also deaf, EXCUSE ME, 2 PEOPLE COMING THROUGH.  Got it, we scoot past them , we get some express passes which help you jump the massive queues.  We have Caths suitcase, no clubs and no suitcase for me, we have to make a choice, make the flight and leave the baggage or wait for bags and miss the flight.  TICK TOCK, we decide to make the flight.  Cath has a panic when she can’t find her boarding pass, asks me for it, I have a panic, TICK TOCK.  Guess who gets chosen for screening in front of a woman who had to have a private screening and they can only handle one bag at a time. TICK TOCK.  Found it, she says.  Off we go.

Now we need to make the it to terminal C from Terminal D, simple as there is an express train, sadly for us the train goes to terminal E before tracking back to C, TICK TOCK.  We run so fast, I was jumping 2 stairs at a time, we get to the gate only to find out that the flight has been delayed by about 40 mins.  Thanks goodness, there is a travel God!!!

About to board the plane to Raleigh Durham without clubs or clothes, but hey ho we will get there.
