Airport Savvy...

Travel... the act of getting from one location to another (this can be whatever you want it to be, and can be undertaken by whatever means of transportation). Road Trips are whole different species of locomotion which adventure travelers seem to gravitate more to... must be part of the experiential thrill of the process being a means to the action! More on 'road trips' in an upcoming blog! Airport to airport however, is undeniably, "travel"... a mechanical means to the action... BUT pointedly has its very own menu of savory delights!
Waiting... (one of the most, in-your-face items on the menu)... waiting in lines, to get from one step to the next in a defined process, for scheduled times where one may proceed from one to the next step in that defined process, for confirmation of your own intelligible sanity, and sometimes even just to get into the banyo! Travelling in pairs, working as a fluid team is one thing, but going it alone, solo, that's an entirely different menu! Something as elementally simple and urgent as visiting the restroom becomes a stressful journey into the unknown! Add being in a foreign country where you have not the luxury of communicating in a language that is intelligible to you, and the fun begins! Stay tuned for an account of one climbers 'fun' travelling solo!
