The bad news was that I forgot to print out KT’s promised boarding pass. The police arrested her for 30 minutes for wandering the airport without the required paperwork. I served as her legal representative when I accompanied her for questioning.

The good news was that the band members of The Cure had missed a flight connection so were forced to wait with KT while new paperwork was generated for their changed travel arrangements. I unashamedly requested a hug from each of them.

KT’s plight and our encounter with The Cure meant that I forgot to check in for the flight myself. The rest of the passengers were appalled. Due to my idiotic mistake our journey was delayed even further.
