Johnson International Airport Main Terminal

Welcome to JIA, Located between Phoxlind and Trulit.

*More information to come*

*I pull up to the toll booth, grab a ticket out of the machine, park and walk into the arrivals area. I take a seat*

*20 minutes later, I see people starting to walk out next to the security line. After a group of half-asleep, people, I spot my friend Kelly, wearing a Devils T-Shirt and gray sweatpants. She's got a black carry on bag over her shoulder, she spots me and smiles as she walks over she says a nice 'Hello', and gives me friendly hug.*

'How was your flight?'

'Not bad, fat lady next to me took up 2 seats but I got some sleep.'

'That's good, got any checked bags?'

'No, this is it.'

'Alright, I'm parked out here.'

*We walk to the parking garage, catching up on our lives. She throws her bag in the backseat and steps into the passenger seat. I get into the drivers start my car up.*

'Did you have any food on the plane?'

'Psh, yeah, some pretzels and peanuts about 5 hours ago.'

'Alright, wanna grab some breakfast?'

'Sure, I probably can't check in for a while anyway.'

'Okay, I know a place.'

*My cab arrives at the airport, I pay the fare and get out with my bag. I walk inside the airport, taking a few minutes to locate the desk and get my tickets, check in my bag etc. I then wait for the boarding, excited to have a few days off to meet friends I haven't seen in a long time.
Finally, boarding starts, I get aboard the plane and I'm off!*

*I step out of the car with my bags, leaving a tip for the driver. I walk to the counter. A woman greets me.*

'Hi, I already have my boarding pass, I just need to check this bag.'

*She checks me in*

'We have an available seat in first class. Want to upgrade?'

'Sure, why not? I don't vacation that much.'

'Haha, that's how I would look at it. Have a great flight, sir.'

*She takes my bag and puts it on a conveyor belt, where it goes through the rubber flaps into the abyss that is the airport's luggage area.*

*I walk up to security, I give the TSA person my drivers license, he looks at it, then looks at me, takes out a sharpie and makes a mark on my boarding pass, it hands it and my license to me. I go through security, then walk to the gate.*

*After an hour of waiting, first class is boarded. I get on, take my seat, then we push back from the gate, and have an on time departure to San Diego.*

*I de-board the 2 hour delayed flight with my backpack. I go down the escalator and walk to Baggage Carousel 2. My bag comes out, so I pick it up, and walk over to the driver from the apartment. I get into the car and we return to the apartment building.

**I arrive at the ticketing counter and check my bag. I have a carry-on with me, to give me something to do on the flight. I got an offer to fly out to Washington, D.C. to meet with some top executives at General Dynamics only a few days after getting promoted to captain. I can only assume they intend to offer some sort of advisory job to me.**

PA: 'US Airways Flight 732 to Washington Dulles has been delayed by fifteen minutes, and will be arriving at Gate 11.'

**I go to the security line and hand my documents to the TSA screener. I pass through without incident and go over to Gate 11. After about 90 minutes of waiting, I board my flight. General Dynamics offered to pay for the ticket, but it's illegal for a company to give favors to a federal employee. I take my seat in economy class and take off twenty minutes later.**

Pilot: '...contents of your bags may have shifted during the flight. Thank you for choosing US Airways.'

**I take my carry-on bag out from under the seat in front of me and wheel it off of the plane. Once I'm in the building, I head towards baggage claim.**

PA: 'Luggage from Delta 843 out of Newark and from US Airways 325 out of Washington Dulles will arrive on Carousel 1.'

**I go over to collect my checked bag. While I was in Washington, the General Dynamics executives offered a job - entry level, though, and with a salary lower than the one I make now. To be honest, though, they would have to pay me easily twice my salary if they want me to quit this job. I bring my luggage to the taxi stand and put my luggage in a yellow cab before heading to the station. On my way over, I call Burke to let him know that my leave of absence ended early. I also call Sharon, just to tell her that I got home safely.**

* I get to the Baggage claim area and get my bags. I start to walk towards the exit and hail a cab but before I do I start looking around at the city. I smell hte somewhat clean air and take in the nicely sized city skyline before stepping into the cab. the cabbie asks me where to. *
