There's something vibrating in my luggage! FRIDAY FOTO FINISH FIESTA!

I have to tell you today of a funny story...or something I find funny, but not everyone has my humor!

We were on our way back from London..(.if you haven't been here before you can just scroll down and see my recent adventures across seas)...and we were at the JFK airport.

First off, we were stuck on the Tarmac for 20 minutes because they didn't have a parking space for our airplane when we landed. Then they decided to transport us to the gate by a "passenger bus"...never heard of it before that day...but we unloaded from the back of the plane and this "bus" for lack of a better word drove us to a gate where we unloaded into the JFK airport.

We then were corralled into a line, extremely SLOW line, because the escalator stairs to customs was broken and they could only allow a certain amount of people to walk down them at a time for safety...blah blah blah...it sucked!

So after about a 1/2 hour we get down the broken escalator stairs to see a LONG, (I'm not talking Disneyland spring break LONG line...I'm talking WORSE)...to await our allowance back into the United States.

I sighed and slumped my shoulders to wait.

Then a lady yelled at us speaking extremely fast...(I think she was speaking English with a light Latino accent but I couldn't quite understand her). My husband did and he said with some excitement, "Oh! Those people already U.S. Citizens get to go in this other line"...I looked over to see a VERY SHORT line...I jumped with joy and headed over to that line.

(I don't blame all those non U.S. Citizens for trying to vacation in the United States...heck they get double for their money...I would do the same thing if I were them! At least Europeans do...)

We get through that line and walk into the next room to hit ANOTHER line. This line was for those who missed their connecting flights or who didn't have a boarding pass to get them on their next flight.

That would be us...Dang!

So I'm standing there with my hands on my checked luggage...waiting, waiting, waiting...when I feel a vibration. I didn't think much of it at first...assumed it was the building or something...I don't know!

Then I just casually turn to Mountain Sport Man and say, "Do you feel that vibration?"

MSM: "No."

Me: Look at him weird, "What? How can you not feel that! The ground's vibrating".

MSM: Pauses for a sec to feel something then says, "No it's not".

Me: "Seriously? You can't feel that?" Then I feel my luggage...then I feel his luggage. No vibration. Then I feel my luggage again, the only CHECKED bag we had. Vibration. Then in somewhat a shaky, sort of laughing, kind of voice I say, "Ummm...hon, there is something vibrating in my luggage!"

MSM: He feels it. Then he looks at me. Then he goes to open the zipper!

Me: "Stop!...what are you doing?"

MSM: "I'm checking out what's vibrating in your bag!" in a duh...stop the theatrics kind of voice.

Me: "Let's stop and think for a minute...is there anything we brought that would cause my luggage to vibrate? Because unless you are surprising me with a gift...we left that stuff at home! So I have NO idea what would be vibrating! This is the only piece of luggage that has been out of our sight at ALL..." then I whisper..."what if it's a bomb? Ticking down the minutes...maybe seconds...If you open it, it could set everything off!!!"

MSM: He think about that for only a mini-second...probably to humor me...then goes to unzip the bag. I look at him and mouth I LOVE YOU...just in case this was our last seconds together (okay I didn't, but that would have been funny right?)...He rummages around and gets into my Toiletry bag. Where he pulls out...

My VENUS VIBRANCE RAZOR!!!


I start laughing so hard my tears are rolling down my cheeks...while my heart starts to calm down to a regular rhythm...then I say, "WOW...that razor has some power behind it!"
Then I give him this apologetic look and all was right again in the world.

(Besides the fact that we had to go through another security line and then were stuck out on the tarmac for take off for 4 and 1/2 hours because of a Ground Stop issued for weather).
