Things Learned While Travelling Part 1

Things I Have Learned By Travelling Part 1:

-People are mostly self-centered when in airports and will knock service dogs out of their way to get to their gates.

-McDonald's is good everywhere.

-I hate talking to people on planes.

-So many people refuse to read "Do Not Pet" signs.

-TSA agents are sweethearts who are usually dog lovers and who are doing a thankless job.

-DFW is the Devil. I have found Hell, and it is consistently located in the bowels of the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

-Any airport that claims to have services to accommodate disabilities really just means that they have an elevator somewhere and some dirty wheelchairs that don't actually function and maybe someone who doesn't communicate well to drive you to a random gate.

-Riley is one of the most well-behaved Service Dogs in an airport at any given time.

-People love Riley and will run me over to ask her how she is and if she is a good dog.

-People think that if someone has a Service Dog, it is okay to interrupt their private conversations to loudly inquire about said dog.

-My husband is still my hero and gets even more annoyed than I do with the stuff disabled travellers have to put up with.

-Chick-Fil-A will give you a plain grilled chicken patty for your dog if you ask (yes, you pay for it).

-We need more USO rooms in DFW. PLEASE.

-Travelling with people who know what they're doing or travelling by yourself are the best ways to travel. Unless you like stress and adults acting like tired toddlers. 

-Watching CNN while waiting to board does not help with travel stress (AAAAAAAAAAA).

-Always wear loose-fitting clothes and say "screw it" to bras and belts. Put a sweater or jacket on over that business and be comfy. You'll thank me later.

-Empty water bottles that can be filled up after security are invaluable unless you like paying outrageous amounts of money for airport water.

-Be prepared (Scar or Boy Scouts version).

-No one can pronounce my last name.
