Thursday after work we headed to Denver to fly to Portland, OR to visit our good friends, Cindy and Rene!! We were just at the turnoff to the airport when I saw Glenn reach towards his back pocket and say, "OH NO!!" I said what? and he answered with words that one NEVER wants to hear when you're taking a trip - I FORGOT MY BILLFOLD!!!
Oh great - we're 2 hours from home and the plane departs in 2 hours -hmmmmmmm - what to do, what to do???? I, of course was livid!!! I COULD NOT BELIEVE that he had left it at his office - I had seen it lying on a chair with his cell phone, charger and his keys - funny how all those items made it to the car but NOT the billfold!!
I told him to go ahead and park the car and we would go in and see what they could do - he wanted to leave the luggage in the car as was sure they would not allow him to fly - I, on the other hand, was optimistic and silently praying that they would let us go!!
After talking to several people, we DID check in and then headed for a special security place - there they questioned Glenn by himself, asking him all kinds of questions while I stood way over to the side - he must have answered their questions correctly because they DID allow him to fly!! So just for the future, YOU CAN FLY WITHOUT ANY IDENTIFICATION - but I don't suggest it!!
Our flight was uneventful (thank heavens!!) although running a little late and Rene was there to pick us up at the Portland airport!! They actually live in WA., which is just 1/2 hour away!
It was great to see them, along with their daughter Cheryl and her son Brennar!! In fact, we stayed up till 2:30 just talking and talking - friends are SO special!!!

Enjoy your time! We will have to catch up once you get home.
Still can't believe he forgot his wallet!! And am surprised with all the security measures that they did let him fly- thank goodness!! Can't wait to read about your trip and see pictures!!
