Summer is always (almost always) associated with a trip. For us, it is mostly a visit to our families and when we travel by car, we would include several destinations along the way as tourist visits. When we travel by plane and have a direct flight, those tourist destinations along the way are missing, but the truth is, travelling by plane is much faster than by car. In our case, it is three days (by road) compared to three hours (by air).
Both things have their positive sides. We really like trips by car that include sightseeing and getting to know new places where we stay to rest. It is a nice experience, although tiring. We have been doing it that way for years, but already last year we travelled by plane because it was more comfortable and quick. I wrote about that trip last year in this small summery community of ours.
This year has been a bit complicated. We hoped that my husband would recover "quickly" and then we could go together to visit our families at the end of the August, however it didn't happen that way. Also, other urgent issues made me travel on my own, as I mentioned in my latest post.
I had a late evening flight from the Alicante airport yesterday. As I arrived two hours before the flight I had that time for having some fun on the terminal.
So, while I was waiting for my flight, guess how I spent that time?
Trying out perfumes?
...
Ok, that is a good guess. 👌
Playing the piano?
...
That is even a better guess! Actually that was the right answer, I pretty much enjoyed playing some pieces from the book that I found there.
Later, I played more pieces from my tablet. For example:
After a few pieces I got some more audience, but I also had to proceed to the gate so I let a young man have his piano time. I gave him some tips as we also talked about piano playing and then indeed I had to go.
It wasn't a quick boarding...
Eventually, the plane was ready and we could start the trip...
How do you spend your time while you are at the airport?
