Speaking of the flight… I *thought* the days of “Bridget-isms” had come to a quiet end… boy, was I wrong! So yesterday morning I head out for the airport.. I needed to fill up the rental SUV, and Erik kept telling me that if I saw a gas station open at that time of morning, just stop, regardless if the vehicle isn’t completely topped off, when I leave it at the airport.. Since the airport was 45 mins. from the lodge, I knew it wouldn’t be on “full” by the time I got there… So, I was happy to find a gas station w/ the airport in sight. I fill up, then hop back on the route.. I’m driving, and although it’s pitch dark outside, I knew what direction I was supposed to be heading.. At one particular stoplight it said “Airport Exit”.. I’m thinking, no.. I can’t use that, I want IN not OUT!.. So I pass it, and the next couple of stoplights have signs w/ acronyms and “employee entrance only”.. So I know that I cannot enter through that way as well.. So I keep going.. surely the entrance to the main parking areas is somewhere shortly ahead.. I then start seeing signs “Security Ahead, your vehicle WILL BE SEARCHED”.. No biggie, I’m just thinking, wow, this airport is VERY secure! But who am I to complain, it’s all to protect travelers! So I proceed… I come up to this little toll box looking shack, and about 30 feet ahead is a huge gated area, w/ barbed wire and all kinds of security checkpoint signs.. Again, I’m thinking, wow, these guys really mean business! So I’m peering into this little “hut” and no one is around.. (still pitch black out, mind you).. I had the rental car return instructions in my hand so I’m looking them over.. I know I have to get a ticket for parking, to leave in the vehicle.. So maybe that little box up by the big fence is where my ticket is… I pull up the 30ft or so to the box, and w/ my head stuck out the window I’m looking for the push for ticket button.. This little box says something along the lines of “badge entrance only”.. Um… I don’t have a badge?.. So I look over the instructions from
