Journey List

I am the executive traveler. I carry-on luggage, wheel-on suitcases, walk-in shoes. While everyone queues to check in, line up and board on, I eat a sandwich and a muffin assured of the time in hand. The people shuffle along one by one, like penguins up a slide. With eight minutes to spare I wipe the crumbs from my mouth and walk calmly to Gate 27. On the train, while storing my luggage and taking a seat, I manage to organise a forthcoming show and arrange a haircut. I could not be more executive. Unless of course I had a job.
