I’ve always had a certain fascination with airports, but my relationship with them has been very much love/hate.  Being involved in a long distance relationship, the airport is the scene of both great joy and also great sorrow.  Since my fiancée normally flies into and out of the same airport, visiting it neutrally conjures up very mixed emotions indeed.  Today, my brother had to leave his girlfriend and it was a very sad affair and believe me, I know the feeling.  I look forward to the day when an airport conjures up only feelings of joy.
