destination orlando

it is always interesting to sit at gates at the orlando airport and watch the people getting off the planes... some are from the area and just hustle off on their way home, but others, especially families, step out of the tunnel into the gate area with wide eyed awe as if they've never seen an aweport, i mean airport before... i can only guess they are anticipating their first trip to one of the many tourist stops in orlando as the same look, even more exaggerated, can be found watching people walk up to and through the main gate of the big theme parks around here... it use to fascinate and amuse and even inspired me to see... now, older and more cynical, i am less enthused and mostly amused when i am not ambivalent... people also seem to be less attractive than they used to be, but that may be another story... the source could be the same, older and more cynical, that is...

i've been saving the two cepacols i brought along for the flight in case of a coughing jag but perhaps assisted by the cold air blowing on my left side, there is a coughing jag attempting to start and i ought to focus on swallowing the nasal drip that is provoking it before it ends this babbling and forces me to shut down and find a place to buy some more small objects to suck on... yeah, i said it, don't get too perverted, m'ok?... could be the caffeine too... maybe i should have gotten tea... and looking around the room, the kids are starting to run around like frantic monkeys now... that may be the caffeine too... and i am seeing a couple of dozen people coming off the plane but checking out because they are getting back on... i wonder if they all get ahead of my paid-for priority boarding spot... it would suck to be the last on the plane after paying for a priority spot... southwest will definitely get a complaint and request for refund in that case because i paid for the convenience of choosing my seat and not having to search for overheat space... we shall see, but i am prepared for disappointment so it will not be as disappointing if it happens...

definitely a room full of kids and families leaving their vacation now... the baggage that comes with booking a monday morning flight leaving the city beautiful, my bad lol...
