I find that the least favourite part of my journeys are preparing for them (although my preparation is often highly minimal - toothbrush, passport, debit card), and passing through airports or seaports, but once I've arrived I never want to leave. Thank you for your missives. Thoughtful as ever.
Our airports are the worst. That noted, we are a country that flies A LOT. For a while in the early aughts, I spent six months "enjoying" the 1,000-mile weekly commute between Scottsdale and San Antonio, and Kate has just worked a week on the east coast, a week back here, and then another week on the east coast--she goes back in a couple of weeks. So, rather than "waste" $$$ on improving comfort, the profits-at-all-costs owners build bus stations instead of airports. It's horrible.
During my trip someone explained how the federal government proposed a high speed rail line from Minneapolis to Chicago via Madison and Milwaukee. Rejected by that Wisconsin governer whose name I've forgotten

Cheers Ian. I quite enjoy preparing before I leave but what I really hate is repacking while I am away!
