Train Wreck

It is no secret that I am a walking disaster, anyone who knows me can tell you that information.  This trip hasn't been any different and I'm not sure were to begin my stories. Should I tell you how I walked into a tree? Should I tell you how I fell down because my backpack was to heavy? How about the time when I fell face down going up a flight of stairs? All those stories are good but none of them compare to my friend Emily's story and it's so good I can't stop laughing when I think about it. 

We had to catch a flight from Krabi to Bangkok and of course we were running late.  I thought we were going to die on the way to the airport because my friend Darin, who lives in Thailand, was driving and I could have sworn we almost got into several wrecks. He claims he had it all under control but thats hard to believe when there is a car coming straight for you at about 60 miles per hour but I digress.

We finally made it to the airport with no less then about 5 minutes to spare. The ticket counter was closing down when we ran up to it. I should also note that when I say the term airport I use that term very loosely. They have 2 gates and the security there is a joke. My boarding pass was printed like a receipt. Emily and I went through security while laura paid for her extra luggage and Darin returned the car. I don't know what happened between the check-in gate and security but somewhere along that line Emily starting freaking out that we were going to miss the plane. She starts running through the airport to the gate and I'm running behind her but I'm thinking why are we running?

Emily gets to the gate and there is no one there checking anybody in so she just goes down the escalator and running down to the walk way to the plane. It's at this point that I start yelling at her because I realize what is going on and I look out the window and there is no plane just an empty walk way.
I'm at the top of the escalators shouting "Emily there is no plane!"  Emily just keeps on running.
I waited for her to realize her mistake and when she does its classic. She comes running back up the walkway and looks up to me and shouts "Melissa there is no plane!" I shout down to her, "I KNOW. IT'S 11:50 OUR FLIGHT DOESN'T LEAVE TILL 12:30." Her face is priceless as it all registers in her brain and she says very meekly, "Oh." Emily takes several tentative steps to the escalator and thats when we both realize that this whole ordeal has just been witnessed by about 150 people who are all waiting in the airport to board our plane.
