Sometimes while I am cleaning teeth I daydream. Ok, all the time. For some reason today, I was thinking about the places I have gone. I love to fly, and like to consider myself pretty well-traveled, so with that...I have decided to present a few awards.
Most Beautiful City to Fly Into: Seattle. No, not because that is home to me, it's the mountains, the water, the city, the islands. So pretty. Close second: Chicago.
Nicest Airport: Detroit. No need to adjust your glasses, I said Detroit. Close Second: Cincinnati.
Airport Where I Had to Dodge Falling Ceiling Tiles: Houston.
The Little Airport That Could: Portland.
Airport Where the Gate Workers Stood There and Watched Me Struggle to Fold Up a Stoller With One Hand While I held an 8 Month Old in the Other: Orlando
Airport Where Dale and I Were Running to Make our Connection and I Wiped Out in Front of About 100 People and Both my Shoes Flew Off: LAX
Airport of Total Mayhem: Newark
Airport Where I Saw a President: JFK (New York- I saw Jimmy Carter- how cool, huh?)
Best Airport Experience While Traveling With Kids: Baltimore
Airport With the Best BBQ: Dallas
Airport Terrain That You'd Expect to be Mountainous, But it's Surprisingly Flat: Denver
Most intimidating Airport Workers: Frankfurt
Nicest Airline Employees: Hawaiian
Rudest Airline Employees: American
Feel free to add to my list. Courtney, I'm expecting to hear from you!
This blog chronicles my life as a wife, mom, dental hygienist, photographer, and smart aleck. I make my home in Washington State. My favorite things are laughing, eating good food, taking pictures, cake decorating, blogging, and serving dental missions in third world countries. I stick my foot in my mouth so often we'll go ahead and call that a favorite hobby, too. I like to think of my blog readers as friends I invite into my home. So welcome. Come on in.

ReplyDeleteAirport that does not give a care if you miss your connecting flight (and has no sympathy for your fear of flying one month after 9/11): LAX (just re-read your post and looks like LAX made the running for connection list - will still add this one)
Jen- I took care of your multiple, redundant comments. Looks like you really wanted to get your point across!
ReplyDeleteOne more! Airport where the customs agents don't even notice you aren't even 21 and you're bringing back several bottles of wine from Italy: Seatac
ReplyDeleteBTW- Jamie- you got one of those bottles as a wedding gift, remember?
