WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

Airports - one man's experience

At last count, we have been to over 35 airports in the course of our travels. Some of have been great places to stop, wait and even shop. Some have been somewhat like Dante's hell.

For example CDG in France and Heathrow in England are actually nice places to catch up on gifts for home. Other places, like Detroit and Chicago O'Hare are places to land and  go elsewhere.

Our home airports are SFO San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose,  and Sacramento. As we also have a second place in Portland, you will often find us at PDX.  All of these airports are, at least for us, places that we like or feel comfortable in. Some airports have been where we landed and then left from another. We cannot be fair by basing things on a single landing experience.

Other airports on our list have been seen multiple times ( like Dublin, JFK, and Atlanta.) and are busy places. I have had good experiences in Verona Italy, Livingstone Zambia, and Munich which make me like them based on one time.

Not to stretch this too far, I will focus on stories about a few where we had memorable adventures.
