Oakland, California
I have just returned from Atlanta and am preparing to fly out to London tomorrow. As Max and I were returning from Maine yesterday and bemoaning the fact we had to fly through Cincinnati, he pointed out to me that this was just the beginning of airports for me. So I thought about this.
In three days I will have hit 10 airports.
Sunday: Portland to Cincinnati to Atlanta
Monday: Atlanta to Dallas/Ft. Worth to Oakland
Tuesday: San Fran to Chicago to London/Heathrow then over to London/Stansted to Berlin/Schonefeld
If we include the last week and the count each trip to an airport and not just once for individual airports then it would be a total of 15 airports. Argh.
Needless to say, I hate airports and the only comforting thing is that I still hold Dallas/Ft. Worth as my LEAST favorite airport of all time. And that’s even on days when there isn’t a thunderstorm to keep you on the runway for four hours.
The worst part about all this? News that The Concorde is being decommissioned or retired or whatever was disheartening because I had big hopes that soon all our airtime would be faster than the speed of sound and eventually available to the average Joe.
Katie, Have a great time in Europe despite the stop in so many airports. Have fun with Charity and RAR. Can’t wait to hear all your adventures. Bon Voyage!
Have a pint or two or six for me.
We will expect daily blog updates on your exploits in Europe, with special emphasis on drunken girl-on-girl action. 🙂
Also, Dallas is absolutely the worst airport in America. But since Dallas is also the worst city in America, it works out nicely.
Yeah, I second that about DFW being the worst…though I am not seconding the girl on girl action. You should be flying over my head any time now…I’ll keep the home fires burning for you!
