faff getting to the airport, getting in early, make sure
your bags packed some way, putting things in little bags,
and go through security, taking your shoes off, taking your
belt off, having a stranger fill you up, get on
the plane, get there. You've got to wait till you
get off. You're driving around in a plane to then
find somewhere to park, and you queue up to get
your bags. Sometimes your bags aren't there yet to then
