There are worse places to be than Philly.
This week there are nearly 300,000 people out at Kittyhawk for the Centenial of Flight. Kittyhawk is part of the Cape Hatteris barier island system, 20 miles out in the Atlantic.
Ordinarily all the hotels are closed for the winter, but this year they are all open and full. All those people are planning to spend 9 days out on the beach watching the festivities and the flights of replica Wright Flyers.
Whether is is Cape Cod, or Cape Hatteras or Padre Island, there is no place more miserable in cold windy weather than a barrier island.

And on a windy day .... that sand can hurt
