10 Things I like about flying
I'm going away this weekend on (you guessed it) an airplane! Hence the latest installment of the series named after the number of fingers I have right now.
1. Taking off. I like the feeling of being pressed back into the seat and the roar of the engines. @janelle does not like this, but this is my list.
2. Snacks. I would probably like hell itself if they came around with a cart of snacks. For that reason, they probably don't.
3. Newspapers. I don't even buy one (yes, I am that cheap), but there are always some around airports, and I like to grab one and read it.
4. The little puffer machines that sniff you to see if you have explosives. I don't even know if they have these in Buffalo, but they amuse me.
5. Seeing all sorts of people have to take their shoes and belts off. Sure, its inconvienient, but it also gives me a good, democratic feeling that the bigwig buisness travellers go through the same stuff as schlubs like me.
6. Moving sidewalks. When will the rest of the world catch up to airports?
7. Free internet stations. Ok, so I have only seen this in foriegn airports. The US needs to catch up on this one.
8. Airport drinks. Sure they are expensive, but there is no better way to pass the time waiting for a connection than at an airport bar.
9. My favorite Men's room in Minnesota. Just kidding! I've never been to Minnesota!
The real 9. Landing. It's like taking off, but its where you want to be.
10. Going through the gate after landing, and re-joining people with out tickets. I love it when there is a crowd waiting and people holding signs, even if none of them are looking for me.

Hey on a side note maybe if you fly southwest you will see them make a 3rd women cover up what she is wearing, HA.
