Cars, couriers, and fast cross-country plane rides
Posted on July 4th, 2008 by Harriet Baskas
Flying anywhere this holiday weekend? I volunteered to serve as a courier and will be heading to the Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL) to pick up Joplin, a retired service dog being adopted by a friend.
While I’m there, I may have just enough time on the ground to do a little shopping for maple products and local handicrafts in the airport shops.
In the meantime, I bet lots of folks will be spending this weekend complaining about the high price of gas. And I bet on Monday, like the people I talked to for this week’s Well Mannered Traveler column on MSNBC.com, some of them are going to do something about it.
