I know exactly what you mean. I've also done a huge amount of travel and have lots of stories. I must log them one of these days, like how United told me that my brand new hard case must be faulty because my guitar arrived in Orlando broken and how Chinese Southern said I couldn't sit next to my wife, who had to sit next to a man who was told he couldn't sit next to his 11 year old child, despite the fact that the seat next to me was the only empty seat on the Dreamliner! Or being told in New Orleans by guess who, yep United, that we couldn't travel on the flight our luggage (with my cancer drugs in it) was on (won that one, but someone else had to get off). I could go on. I wrote a song which I might share one of these days called The Best Part of Going Away is Coming Home. Actually I love visiting countries around the world, it's just the planes, the queues and the airports I hate:)
