Up, Up And Away?

WriteBeLight

Calling all travelers,

To the U.S.A.

And, those that live here.

I need to hear what you say.

 

I am planning a journey,

Visiting a loved one.

I haven’t flown in years,

Off to have some fun.

 

So, if you’ve been to,

These airports below.

Please leave a comment.

Share what you know.

 

Coming to Minneapolis.

MSP for short.

I hear it’s pretty big.

Is it a nice airport?

 

Then, there’s Chicago.

ORD its name.

O’Hare like MSP?

Are your comments the same?

 

A stop in Philadelphia.

PHL is its code.

What will it be like?

Will I leave in a good mood?

 

Oh yes, then LaGuardia.

With a Code of LGA.

New York’s large airport.

Any good things to say?

 

Rochester, Minnesota.

Looks cute and small.

Won’t underestimate RST.

It’s attributes at all.

 

I’ll admit this is true.

I have apprehension.

Anxious and uneasy,

Affect my hypertension?

 

So, there’s my list.

Short, but moreover.

I’m really going to takeoff,

Somewhere Hell must have froze over.

      Thanks WW. Have driven to Philly to see the Blue Angels years ago. And, been in NYC by car, as well. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the tips.

      The last time I was on a plane I had to flap the wings to keep it up!

      Hmm I was sat in a plane waiting to start the engine for take off. I never left the ground. It was a glider! heehee.

      Well, my advice is about as helpful as how to find a sewing needle among a cactus plant!

      Well I'm a regular flier mainly throughout Europe but little experience of American airports. There was time when it was a pleasure to fly - people would actually take pride in dressing up and sashay up and down the waiting areas but now? With fashion featuring in nearly every magazine and high street shops fighting for custom it just amazes me that people all look so scruffy and seem to rejoice in it. Then there's airport food - tacky, fat inducing fast food which I wouldn't serve a dog. Rant over - err just enjoy the experience.
