Osugi: Chris, I’ve had my luggage lost, and that’s a part of my
travel war stories. How about you?

Chris: I have been pretty lucky with losing baggage. But…uh…
I was　really surprised once when we were going through Denver.
We were flying from the West Coast and going to Miami, and
we had to stop in Denver for a short time. I think we just picked up
other passengers. But although it was April, the end of April or
early May, it was snowing in Denver. I was so shocked. I
couldn’t believe it. The last thing I expected to see was snow.
We were pretty lucky though. We didn’t get held up more than,
I don’t know ten or fifteen minutes. And then we got to Miami and it was about 85 degrees which I think
is 28 or 30 or so centigrade, and humid.

Osugi: Uh-huh. Nowadays you get tons of advice about getting
to the airport ahead of time because of security measures. It
takes a lot of more times.
So I try to get to the airport well ahead of the departure time.
And many airlines are also canceling flights.
So you are going got to be　
careful.

Chris: Yeah. We usually get there quite early, too. Because we can
sit around and read something, watch other people walk around, so
it’s better than standing in lines and being stressed, and worried all
the time about whether you’ll be able to catch your flight.
