Heathrow -- I avoid it like the plague. Even when everything goes right it's not a pleasant place. They really tried with their new Terminal 5, though it's SO freakingly commercial I didn't like it. If you are in a hurry it's hard to find the gates hidden away between the shops; it might be nicer had I had lots of time to stroll around with my wallet safely packed away in my pocket. (I still prefer Gatwick.)

When the time comes I'll miss the travel (am looking forward to the possibility of a return to P.R.China this fall as an honored guest & speaker), but I won't miss the airports.

I still can't figure out what brain-dead idiot led one airline to feature "Terminal Man" on one of its (international?) flights... On the plus side I saw a movie for which I'd never have purchased a ticket, on the minus side I was reminded again why I detest airports.

If I had a newer vehicle, there isn’t an airport in the world that could attract me. I’d rather drive.

I’d even sail, if I could. I understand some “freighters” will take passengers for a minimum fee, and if I have to go overseas, that would be my choice.

Airports SUCK!

And I’m going to bed. I had no plans of staying up this late!

See ya tomorrow!

I saw a luggage store in a airport in the terminal area pass the security check. I have seen hotels in the airport and could see why some people might perhaps find a need for new luggage there. Not to be to loquacious but this store was pass the baggage check. Only ticketed passengers could get to this luggage store.There are several stores in the terminal area that sell a lot of stuff, but they sold bags or luggage that you could not carry onto the plane. The plane. Look boss the plane. Last summer when my sister visited with her kids we took them to see The Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden which has this house on it's grounds

What kind of security do these really small airports have. The one like in that old TV show. I like the one train trip that I took. Someday I would like to take one up the west coast. Taking pictures and reading old detective novels.
