Then it was time to leave.  A Travel Tip: for clothing that people don’t see, like underwear or socks, pack old pairs that you were planning to get rid of anyway; rather than bring them home, throw them out when you’re done with them. Travel Tip #2: Don’t buy so much junk that you need to make space in your luggage through lunatic expedients like throwing out your underwear.

We rushed to the airport.  The Enterprise car rental people were cheerful, efficient, and not at all teenaged, which was a great relief after so many days in Disneyland and California Adventure.  The people at the Southwest counter were adults, too.  I was surprised at how relieved I was to be in the hands of adults: I breathed out an audible sigh, and felt my stomach decompress.  Then the Southwest woman said that our plane was deicing in Chicago and would be five hours late, and my stomach reversed course.
