Another flight...

It's just after 5:30am and I am on my way to Sky Harbor Airport to catch my flight to Seattle for a welcomed escape from the blistering heat we have been experiencing here. There is also a side trip scheduled to visit a buddy in Vancouver, BC where a city tour and sunset boat ride are on the agenda. As I prepare for the joys of TSA lines I am looking forward to the joys of people watching that airports provide since I found that this is a great place to watch the emotions of others unfold before my eyes like a Criss Angel act.

You have those who have mistimed the requirements to make their plane; they weave in and around fellow passengers with the determination of an F1 race car driver...

You have those lost souls seeking the mystical directions to the right gate...

You have those who are having a meltdown because the airline will not return the plane from the runway in order for them to board...

But the best is watching the raw emotion of a returning loved one...
