Flying home from Buenos Aires takes a long, long time.
The first hour is your cab ride out of town. You have to chuckle as your cute yellow and black cab zips along the autopista toward the international airport. You’re chuckling because the freeway signs say EZE. Yep. Just say “easy.” That’s the airport code for the Buenos Aires International Airport.
Happily, the two of my flights departed on time, and arrived on time. Buenos Aires to Atlanta, and then Atlanta to Los Angeles. The snag came at LAX. Gosh, delays in San Francisco meant that we sat on the plane on the ground for a LONG LONG time. Smoke in the air. Fog in the air. Why take off if you know you can't land?
Sitting on the plane at LAX there was entertainment. We were encouraged to listen to XM radio using those little bity free headsets. We were also informed that we were free to play with our own “portable electronic devices.”
The young cute guy next to me had no fewer than THREE “portable electronic devices” going at the same time. He had his phone hanging up on the little hook on the tray table on the seat back in front of him. He had a tiny version of Finding Nemo playing on a tiny movie player. And, I am not kidding, he had a game console of some kind. A Sony Wii or something-or-other. As for me, I have my laptop.
The life of an international traveler is so darn entertaining!
