Who Shot JR?

Posted at 9:50 am by Patrick under Dublin + Belgium:2005

I was at a party last night where some friends told me about their following the moblog of our trip to Dublin and Belgium. What I didn’t realize was that my last post from the gate in Brussels was a bit of a cliffhanger! So here’s what happened to Mark and Michael during those last harried moments at BRU.

> I handled the rental return while Mark and Michael *ran* to the ticket counter to check in. They made it with 30 seconds to spare, and just barely got their boarding passes. But that’s not all…
> Michael almost succumbed to the task of dragging his 35 beer-filled suitcase to the gate (which at BRU seems like a 1 mile hike from security to the gate). Thankfully Mark ran ahead to let the gate personnel know they were coming.
> The overstuffed suitcase was almost impossible to extract from the overhead bin, as it was heavy, and got caught on the inside edge of the bin. Even Mark’s hanging all of his body weight on the bin couldn’t dislodge it. Somehow it was removed without resorting to a c-section, but not before the *entire* aircraft was deplaned.

So now the story has a happy ending!
