It is not exactly communing with nature, but the Charlotte airport is not a bad facility. I have a hideously long layover here and was dreading finding somewhere to kill the time. Pleasantly I found in between the concourses an area with rocking chairs, plug-ins, WIFI and trees! Real trees.
If you like please contrast this post to one about 4 days ago about the terminal in San Luis Obispo.
Before you think I found Shangri-La keep in mind I did pay about 11 dollars for a sandwich and chips (not even a drink). The ciabatta bread tasted more like plaster of Paris. I have spent a good amount of time people watching. I have seen military units, the UNC women’s soccer team, plastic surgery, gastric surgery, people who need surgery, mountain folk, German tourists, crying babies, and the unenthusiastic faces of over-worked airport employees.
I still have three hours to go.
