Julienne's First Trip by Plane

As you know I planned a trip to Texas last week. I was very busy and unable to write so I will try to fill you in on some of the activities.
 
Before we left my hosts had a big dinner for me and invited some new friends they thought I might identify with since we seemed to have so much in common. Turned out they weren't very talkative and disappeared before dinner. Here's a picture.
 
Next morning we drove up to Logan Airport for our journey to the Lone Star state. I was so excited to see the plane I was going to ride, waiting for me to board. Here's another shot.
 
Then there was an ugly incident! Because I was a bit too short for the full body scan machine the TSA guys took me aside and in front of all those people patted me down. Well, they obviously were not familiar with potato anatomy and the result is apparent in this TSA shot. Even after reading my travel instructions they were a bit confused and I was totally humiliated.
 
Everything was eventually cleared up and I was able to board the plane for my first flight ever. I love the window seat. Here's a shot of me all strapped in.
 
Texas was nice but I spent a lot of time alone because my hosts couldn't take me to many of their engagements. The return flight was nice but I still didn't see any other traveling potatoes
 
I'm looking forward to moving on to another family or friend's house
 
I'll write when I get there.
 
Julienne.

  1. The TSA incident is shocking! How humiliating! I would write to our Senators from Maine and Idaho and lodge a complaint against potato profiling.

  2. I agree about the TSA incident, although judging from you smile it looks like you didn't mind too much!
