In Cancun airport…
Waiting to board…
The plane’s computer system went down…
(much better than the plane going down with me on it)
What was supposed to be a 5 hour flight…
Turned into a 38 hour ordeal instead.
But as any seasoned traveler knows…
You’ve got to be prepared for these situations…
Credit cards…
Books or mags…
Stash of healthy snacks…
A laptop and/or some device for music...
And most important—a mind…
That can easily tune in happy creative thoughts...
And tune out reality.
And my mind did tune in and tune out...
Too bad my feet couldn’t do the same!
After being re-routed...
Schlepping through three airport terminals…
And going through three security checkpoints…
My feet tripled in size…
(is this what’s meant by the rule of three?)
And that’s when it occurred to me…
Someone should invent expandable shoes.
I’m not kidding! Think of it…
Shoes should have a function mode…
That automatically adjusts to the swollen feet inside...
Because no foot (or me)…
Should ever have to endure...
Almost 38 hours of nonstop wear.
So?
What’s the worst your feet have endured?
And what do you when you travel…
To keep from going nuts?
Always, Em-Musing
