Finally another audio post, eh? I’d honestly forgotten I had an audblog subscription until Paypal hit me up with an automatic renewal last month. Well, here goes:
Live from the Twin Cities, in which the author attempts to remember where the hell he is and what he is doing there (transcript below).
I forgot to mention in the audio clip that the Minneapolis airport has gotta have the longest series of moving walkways I’ve ever had the misfortune to be on, connecting one end of the airport to the other. Then again, I was pretty groggy, so even crossing a dirt path would’ve felt like Lawrence of Arabia. (This diagram says four minutes directly between concourses G and C, but I swear it took a lot longer.) I seriously should get miles for that.
Jeff: Good morning, kids. This is Rebel Prince Radio on the road, in the skies. It’s about 6:20 a.m. Central Time, and here I am in Minneapolis. I just got off a plane, and yeah, I’m totally disoriented. [laughs] Yeah, didn’t get much sleep, considering it’s only a three-hour flight from San Francisco. But anyway, my next flight leaves in about an hour, so I will be home soon, thank goodness. So, that’s it for now. That’s Rebel Prince Radio on the road. See you back here soon. Bye bye.
One reply on “Caution: the moving walkway is ending”
Oh, I’ve been to that airport. It’s just terrible!! My plane dropped me off at Concourse A and I had 45 mins to get myself over the Concourse E. I stopped at little stores along the way thinking I had loads of time… that was until I got lost and hit a dead end in Concourse F!!! I somehow missed E and was running out of time. I found my way to F with only 3 mins before my plane took off. *whew* I hope I never have to change planes at that airport again!! Scary!
