airports are kinda like limbo...

i've spent a fair amount of time in airports the past 3 weeks.
and i've come up with some observations.
or opinions.
or just plain people watching commentary:

-Men who fly in suits are incredibly attractive.

-Everything is more expensive in an airport.

-9 out of 10 times, you will get a screaming baby on your flight.

-Traveling alone is the most sane thing you can do.

-People are rude.

-People are considerate.

-Airports are one of the best spots for people watching.

-I wonder if anyone was people watching me.

-How do birds manage to get IN to the airport? And yes, I've seen this on more than one occasion.

-Most of the food options are total crap, but you'll eat them anyway.

-Pilots have an incredibly respectable profession.  I honestly don't know how they do what they do, the idea of driving a truck scares me, let alone flying something that huge up in the air.

-And finally, airports are the earth equivalent to limbo.


There is something about an airport that makes you feel like time is standing still.  The time zone changes, the lighting is almost always the same.  The food options never change.  The uniforms the employees wear are all the same.  When you are in an airport, waiting for your flight, you are, in some ways, untouchable.  There is nothing you can do, but wait to get on your flight.

-Oh. And security can bite the big one right now.  We might as well be naked while going through those damn checkpoints.  Bleh.

But after all this traveling, waiting, and junk food eating...one of the greatest things ever:

hugging someone you love, waiting on the other end, in an airport.




And if you're looking for a good movie that can relate to my theories....this one's a keeper.
i'm just sayin.

This post makes me want to travel so badly. I can't wait to get on a plane again.
