Business Trip
Going to Boston for the first time tomorrow. Me. I am.
I like flying. I like it a lot.
I don't like driving to the airport, getting there early, and paying for parking. I don't like lugging luggage [i just now made the connection between those words].
I don't like waiting in line for everything; The ticket counter, security screening, getting in the plane.
I don't like departure delays and airport announcements about fearfully eyeing everyone else and their luggage to see if they are terrorists and bombs. This fearful eyeing is why zombie cinema has seen a recent resurgence. This unattended bag could contain vials of The Infection...
I don't like cramped knees in coach. I don't like my feet being cold and my head being hot.
But I do like being in the air. I like looking out the window at the sun and the clouds. I like trying to figure out how far the horizon is.
I like being in flight. I like having people bring me snacks. I like sitting and listening to my music. I like when there's a movie I wouldn't have otherwise watched. I like taking a nap.
I like walking through the airport and looking at the public art and the utilitarian architecture that's supposed to evoke Air, or The Wing, or Sweeping. I like the moving walkway and the tram.
I like seeing a new city, being in a new place, on an adventure.
