"Gate Open"

I am not impressed when the signs say "gate open" but the gate is very clearly not open.

I prefer other transit vs. flying. Ok, actually, I LOVE flying. I just loathe airports. I don't like waiting. I would prefer to spend seven hours actually going vs. four hours sitting around and 90 minutes flying. Especially because in the airport we are subject to the fickle whimsy of airlines and security - they make changes or bark directives without heed to our preferences, it feels.

That said... Airplane travel sure is fast.

I'll be in Africa in two hours!!! Exciting.Read more
