Misadventurous Melissa

Everyday is an adventure, or misadventure as the case may be. It is the latter that makes for the best stories, inspiring the name of my blog. I'm a nurse and an attorney (and way too silly sometimes). I am retired now. WELCOME to my blog! This is a work of fiction inspired by true events. The patients I refer to are a patchwork quilt of various patient's problems mixed together. If you think you recognize someone, you are wrong. These people do not really exist.

Packing A Cat

I found this on http://neatorama.com via http://cosmicwatercooler.blogspot.com. How neat is this story?

When Mary Martell left for St. Johns Airport, she didn’t know her cat had jumped into her suitcase.

How did a live animal in a suitcase make it through airport security?

Martell said her bag was scanned at the airport, but she was not stopped.

“They had asked me, when they put … the luggage through the X-ray, whether I had a turkey,” Martell said.

“[Security] kept going back and forth with [the suitcase],” Martell said. “I was adamant. ‘Look, I have no turkey.’”

The cat was discovered after a two-hour flight to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, when Martell opened her suitcase in her hotel room. The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority is investigating the incident.

Those links are just a wee bit off. You're so close! You just need to add http:// in front of neatorama.com and cosmicwatercooler.blogspot.com so the browser knows it's a complete address and not a page on your own web site.

example: <a href="http://cosmicwatercooler.blogspot.com">Cosmic Watercooler</a>
