> I don't mind waiting in airports; I find it relaxing. My thoughts exactly. I've spent so much time waiting at bus stops in 115° weather, that an air-conditioned airport terminal is a piece of cake! I love just strolling through the concourse, checking out gift shops and art on the walls; there's even a gallery if I have time, and models of vintage aircraft hanging around. There's a nice interfaith chapel where I've found good Bibles and a copy of the Liturgy of the Hours, if I feel like investing 20+ minutes in quiet prayer. Then I scope out security and see what the line's like, and I get through it with plenty of time to find a restaurant on the other side, then just chill out awhile with a book or my phone. I mean, I prefer third spaces to being home all the time. So many distractions, so much housework. Fantastic to leave it behind. Also, people-watching is a cool pastime!
