I think yesterday was national ‘bring-your-screaming-kid-on-the-airplane’ day. Seriously, every flight, without fail, had a screaming child on board. I am surprised the lungs were still functional on the child who was on the last flight of our journey home…she screamed the entire 40min duration of the flight. The poor man who had to be seated next to the mother holding the screaming carpet-crawler had everyone around rooting for him and offering up words of encouragement. The poor mother knew it too, she didn’t make eye contact with a single person…just stared out the window the whole time, not acknowledging any part of the situation. If it were up to me though, I would switch the focus of some of those bright, young scientists who are currently trying to cure cancer and have them put their energy into figuring out how to quiet screaming babies on airplanes.

Speaking of airplanes, I don’t think it is too much to ask of US Airways to see that our luggage makes it on the connecting flight from Philadelphia to Providence…especially since we had more than an hour to kill in Philly. That being said, we showed up in Providence and waited by the baggage claim as a whopping 10 bags came around the carousal despite the flight being full.

And this white girl still managed to return from Mexico without a tan.
