Airport experience

Having not flown anywhere since 2000 before 9-11 our experience at the Seatac airport was a lot different then the last time I flew... we got our bags checked very quickly and followed the mass of people to the long long long lines to go through airport security, we were hoarded through the ropes like cattle for over an hour we moved very slowly. Once we got closer I noticed everyone was taking things off like shoes, belts, pullovers etc.. I thought man do we have to strip down... not quite but almost...haha! We did the same and put our stuff in the little boxes they provide and got right through, now to get our shoes on belts etc... seems funny to see all these people having to get redressed in the middle of the airport... so I made a note to myself that for our flight back home I would wear my flip flops so I could just slip on and off...haha!
We then had over an hour wait until our plane boarded so we grabbed a starbucks coffee and a bite to eat then waited... Once we boarded I felt bad for Josh... being 6'7" he couldn't put his tray down on the plane as his knees went right to the seat in front of us... and the seats are very close together... he is so tall and had nowhere to put his arm so he put it around my shoulders...wasn't that comfortable for me until I nuzzled in and went to sleep...haha! Thank Goodness the flight was only 2 and a 1/2 hours... not sure I would've wanted to do that much longer... The Las Vegas airport was a trip I am not used to getting off the plane then taking a subway like shuttle underground to get my bags but you learn very fast...now we are pro's ... but I did wear my flip flops home ...hahahaha!
