YOW Departure

Just about on my way to London then Edinburgh. As I was checking in, I overheard the guy next to me checking in as well. He would have been checking in for London (like me) or possibly Frankfurt, which departs about 15 minutes earlier.

The guy had been trying to check in at a kiosk, but had some difficulty. So the check in agent says, to confirm with him: "So you're connecting on to Dubai." (At this point, I thought that sounded pretty nice.) "Then you'll need to collect your bags and re-check them directly with Afghan Airways."

So I guess it's a reminder that even though my own trip keeps me away from family for a long time, has a lot of gruelling travel, tight schedules, important and difficult meetings, and not much down time... I'm still pretty lucky I'm going where I'm going, and not to Afghanistan.
