I can’t resist sharing a humorous true story a friend told me this week about her experience at Houston’s United Club, formerly known as the Red Carpet Club…

After arriving bedraggled from a long international flight, she decided to shower and wash her hair to freshen up before catching her connection to fly home.  While undressing for her shower, she noticed their garment valet and thought it would be even nicer to have her clothes freshened as well.  The instructions said the light would turn green when her clothes were ready.  After showering, she noticed that the light was still red.  Meanwhile, her husband is frantically texting and calling her inquiring where she is as they need to change terminals and catch their next flight!  While wrapped in a towel drying her hair with one hand and hurriedly applying makeup with the other, she began to panic wondering whether her clothes would ever surface; no one was in sight to ask.  Luckily, they finally did so she dressed and dashed out to meet her husband and run to the next terminal.

Travel Tip:  Make sure you have enough time between flights before getting distracted and lured into trying something new at the airport!
