waiting for the Fun to Begin

10/29/2017

We went to London today. The whole crew. When Neddy was fussing in line at the Basel airport, Errol tried to reason with him: “ Most of traveling is just waiting.”

Is that right?


Most of traveling is just waiting?


We did stand in line a lot today: visa checks, security, passport control, boarding, passport control again.


​Travel days try everyone’s patience, but they’re not what travel is. The long lines and timetables are the yuck you have to work through to get to the good stuff.  It’s not easy, but travel is usually rewarding. When the waiting is over, the fun can begin.

Here! Here! I totally agree with you, Anne. But, I'm sure to a 4-year-old, it seems like constant waiting, I can't wait to hear all about it!
