The flight to Minneapolis was uneventful but really boring except for the screaming child that would just randomly scream at the top of its lungs in that shrill ear piercing, could break glass tone. Makes it hard to understand how you have to justify taking your dog on a plane and pay $200 and nobody even knows they are there.
The Minneapolis airport is something else! Just like being in a mall! Jennifer and I have cased out the stores and know what we will be buying on the way back. The dog potty area was a bit of a jaunt but a nice fenced area for Slice and Pint to stretch their legs. We had four hours to kill here so we took advantage of the time to sit with the dogs and just let them be loose. Totally different culture here at the airport. They were running around playing fetch and attracting all kinds of passersby. I think we met just about every flight attendant and security agent on their way to their flights. Of course the questions come about Team Canada and where we are going. It is so great to just meet people because you have a common love of dogs.
Once again, go through security but this time it is Jennifer that is suspicious. Carrying the laser as carry on and not wanting to put it through x-ray didn't really please the TSA agents but they respected her request. It was when her bag went through the scanner that all the alarms went off and the big search began of her suspicious bag. It was pretty funny actually. The item of concern was the box with attachments for the laser. Believe me they felt pretty stupid going through her bag.
We have hooked up with Carol Smorch, who will be joining our traveling road show for the rest of then trip. It is so nice to connect with Carol again. Such and important part of our success.
So here we sit at the wifi bench, charging our technology and staying connected before boarding the big plane. The dogs have been given their air travel meds and relaxing nicely while we wait. Looking forward to a nap on the plane.
