The Pianist

We’ve all been stuck at the airport. I’ve had my fair share of unforgettable experiences. I’ve spent the night at Rome’s airport, wearing sweats over my jeans to stay warm. I slept in an armchair at Singapore’s Changi. I’ve been sent to hotels while in Chicago, Tokyo, and Miami because of cancellations. And I’ve spent hours in airports waiting, standing in line, watching the monitors and paying for wifi. I even wrote a fake survival guide to living in the Charles de Gaulle airport, here. My point is, I’m used to it.

When in Rome...

Most of this has happened alone though.

May I present to you – Stuck at the Airport

This is the first of what I hope to be a series of blog posts where I introduce some people and blogs I have been lucky to discover during my travels, meetings, conferences and the exploration online.  I hope you enjoy.

So, the first of this series focuses on the blog Stuck at the Airport by Harriet Baskas.  I’m a travel junkie and absolutely adore airports. I wasn’t lucky enough to travel through JFK and see the Eero Saarinen TWA terminal during its heyday, but I would have truly appreciated it. To provide a little background, I’ve been fortunate to travel frequently. My favorite airport is Singapore’s Changi and as an Indianapolis resident, I started the the IND Flickr group. Through my work at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, I convinced Patrick Smith, author of Ask the Pilot, to write a beautiful, compelling blog post, The Jetliner as Art. I love airports, traveling and planes.
