Sitting in O’hare international at 1 in the morning due to a lack of enthusiasm to pay for airport parking means enjoying an empty airport. And one hell of an uncomfortable chair. Squeezing in a little volunteer work before my 6:45 am flight may mean an exhausting day. I have no doubt California will rejuvenate my soul. Sunshine, mountains, and the ocean is almost always the best prescription for every ailment, from a broken heart to a restless soul. Right up there with a bit of choice whisky.
For me, there’s something soothing about airports in their own right. Bustling masses, everyone is heading somewhere. Plug in the right soundtrack and you can be in whatever world you choose. Whether you’re departing or arriving, something awaits.
