The Company and Kindness of Strangers
Posted by shimon under shimon/journal entries , society/travelI just arrived home from a delayed and delayed and delayed flight. I was returning to Boston from Thanksgiving with my family in Cincinnati. Originally scheduled to leave at 6:55pm, my flight ended up leaving at around 9:55, putting us in Boston just before midnight.
But the delays weren't that bad. I sat at gate B34 in Cincinnati with Becky and Colleen, two other friendly young Bostonians. After the delay time was updated and we had two hours to kill, we started watching Monsters, Inc. on my laptop. We didn't finish the movie before boarding, but I caught the rest in the air. Good stuff.
Finally, after arriving in Boston to gargantuan lines for taxis, Becky's friends, who lived not far from me, offered me a ride home. For almost nothing, I got a ride home at a late hour with a fun, friendly atmosphere. So for all that, guys, thanks.
