I just read 3 messages about how horrible airports and flying is. The first message was so long I thought it must be a joke and was waiting for a punch line. Since I've joined this list I have gotten some valuable information and have been impressed with the upbeat attitude that many have despite serious problems but I guess there are exceptions. But----to read all this nonense about airports is too much. Sure, planes are delayed, lines can be terribly long, but to knock everything is unbelievable. I guess I enter an airport with excitement knowing we will be leaving our routine and going someplace we look forward to visit. Oh, and by the way, don't most airports now have McDonalds or other fast food? As someone mentioned yesterday, PWPs should also bring a snack and water just in case there isn't something available when needed. We hope to go away this weekend (Sat thru Thurs) and we are both looking forward to it!! A change of scenery does wonders!! Maybe I'll resubscribe to this list when I return. Dorothy CG Roy 68/44/42
