Flight Delay

Have I ever blogged in an airport before? No , I have not. The only reason I am now is because my flight has been delayed for the second time (originally 4:15, then 5:30, now 6:40) and I'm hoping it's not delayed again because I'd like to get home at some point tonight. I know I could pretend I was on the Amazing Race and sleep in the airport, but I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. You would think it would be easier to fly from Philadelphia to Cincinnati.

I've liked airports since I was little, and I thought it'd be interesting to live in an airport long before Tom Hanks ever did it. Then again, I was seven at the time, but there is something fun about airports.I like seeing what artwork and design styles the airport uses. I like seeing what’s been invented since the last time I traveled – For instance, in the Cincinnati airport they have a machine with a bunch of different cords coming out of it where you can charge your phone for a fee.

One of my favorite airport pastimes (actually, you can play this in the comfort of your own hometown, if you so desire) is to see how much the pads and tampons cost. In Cleveland, they’re free but you have to press a button. In Charlotte, they’re out in a little basket along with mints and other toiletries (yes, I did take a mint from them). Philadelphia is the same as Cleveland. I went to the bathroom in Cincinnati, but there was a cleaning woman so I couldn't investigate (plus I didn't check any luggage, so I was lugging a thousand pounds of crap). If they’re free, I don’t take them just to take them in fear that I’ll get bad period/tampon karma and next time I really need one and don’t have one, all my money will be gone or I’ll be traveling with only boys. You don’t want bad period/tampon karma, let me tell you.
