Guess where I'm posting from?
You know the cliche of those phones in the back of airline seats? How everyone pays $9 a minute to say "Guess where I'm calling from?"

I'm at the free internet kiosk at the airport... ooh, ah... got here far too early for my flight, so it's nice to while away the time doing something pointless and trying to touch-type on the world's worst keyboard. :)

I know this will break everyone's respective hearts, but I probably won't be posting much over the next week... hopefully I'll be having IRL fun intead.

Cheers!

1. Nice!
That's cool that there are free kiosks... even if the keyboards are terrible :)

Where are you headed? Enjoy your trip!

4. Where am I headed?
Lynz, I'm coming to visit you! Did you forget? You're supposed to pick me up at the airport at 3:15!!!

Actually, some joker planned a conference in Florida during hurricane and humidity season... I'd rather be going to, oh, I don't know... maybe North Carolina... ;)

8. The weather is pretty nice in NE Florida today. Not too hot yet and sunny
with some clouds.

No hurricanes in the offing at the moment as far as I know.

So, are you lucky and gonna be in NE Florida, or are you going to hotter and more humid parts south?

7. Actually, Dad dropped me off at the airport.
Gave him his $1.00 gift... one of those car dashboard dustmops! It's actually pretty sweet... I have one I paid $10 for. It's not that I'm cheap. My sister and I went overboard for his birthday back in May and we told him it counted as his Father's Day gift too.

I'm at the glamourous Dayton International Airport. (Birthplace of aviation, despite what those wannabes in NC claim. ;)

10. If it was at all interesting, I would have...
As if it's not hot and sticky enough in Ohio, I'm going to swelter in Florida and hope there's no hurricanes. I was down here last September and had to do the evacuation bit, driving my local rental all the way back to Ohio. They wanted to charge me like an extra $600 for that, but I shamed them down to about $125.

12. Ha! I'm in Orlando
I talked to my mom in Columbus recently, and their weather has been worse than ours for much of the past month!

I grew up in Columbus, and recall many a hot, sticky, humid night this time of year. The good thing about FL summers is that we're well equipped to deal with them! :hi:

13. Wow! You found FREE internet at an airport???? Amazing....
Edited on Sun Jun-19-05 10:22 AM by peacebuzzard
Airports usually rob their captive consumers. Even hotspots are outrageous. Orlando, you say? I'll have to check that one out, next time I am there.

OH, on edit, just reread the post, and I picked up Dayton, not Orlando. I have never been to the Dayton Airport....Not on my circuit...tht is great they have free internet. Have fun....

15. well, three kiosks for the whole terminal...
I think there are a few more in the other terminal, too.

I'm surrounded by poor bastards whose plane is stuck in Chicago because they can't get the engine started! I better get down to my gate and make sure my plane is on time!

Au revoir, y'all!
