Who Updates From the Airport?

Umm apparently I do. So after getting to IAH at 2 for my flight that was scheduled for 4:30 but had been postponed, we discovered the final time for the flight: 6:20. Oh joy! After an hour and a half of standing in lines and such, I finally got through check-in and security. Well, at least I wouldn't have QUITE so much time to kill once getting inside. I next set on a mission to find the Continental Club, as my mom had given me a pass. This did not warrant any success. All of a sudden, I tuned into the loudspeaker...you know how you always pay more attention when you think you hear your name? "Nikki McKinnon..." 

Oh no. 

"...please come to the security checkpoint in terminal D to retrieve a lost item..." 

Oh my gosh! My laptop!

"...Nikki McKinnon"

I race across the terminal, down the escalator, and to the security checkpoint. The first worker I found didn't know what I was talking about, but she took me to someone who did. So, after presently identification, I have my beautiful laptop. Happy, I went back up the escalator and to Lefty's To-Go Grille. After all, I was hungry, had been given a $5 voucher from the airlines for the delayed flight, and was in need of a way to relax after that minute of intensity. The reward was a diet coke and a Lefty's Sampler - potato skins, buffalo wings, and onion rings. Yum. Thus ends the US portion of my trip...or so I hope, as long as this flight doesn't get cancelled, which would just be sad!
