How many people does it take to change a 2 watt bulb?

...Apparently three airport officials and a pilot. This was problem numero uno. We had made it to Minneapolis and all was going well...we boarded the jet and began to pull onto the runway and then we stopped...
Mhm...and waited...
So we learned that it takes approximately one full hour to change a light bulb (smaller than your finger nail no less) and then we were able to depart. Lets just say that the delay caused a few certain people (person) some unnecessary stress...little did we know that there was really no hurry...

We arrived in Atlanta about 25 min before boarding of our next flight was to begin (@ 6:10 pm). There was a slight sense of hurry as we had to transfer to another Terminal for the international flight. Upon landing Jeremy decided to relieve himself of his earlier meals into a Subway bag he had on hand...at least he felt better shortly. Once again we boarded the next jet, glad we were on time for the flight. We had waited for a few minutes and then the plane rocked noticeably...we thought nothing of it (maybe the pilot was 800 pounds?)

Then we received a lovely announcement informing us that a luggage carrier had run into our jet and it was in no condition to fly...some said a few words of pity (with tinges of anger) for the driver of the luggage car (whose employment was now in question).















We had to exit the aircraft and head down to another terminal down the hall where they had scrambled to find a replacement jet for us...thankfully all went well. (plus the extra time before boarding the new flight allowed us to eat a
most excellent meal...thankfully Jeremy kept this one down) Anyways...we are here, safe and sound.






Until later...Brady
