I'm on my way home today via the fine twin cities airport of Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN. During my time awaiting my first flight and the additional two hours of layover here, I've made an unusual observation. Once the average traveler arrives at their gate after stressing their way through security they race to their gate only to sit there and wait for an hour. About forty minutes before their plane is ready to load they all rush up and crowd the gate.

Do you see the odd pattern? People seem in a rush to stop standing at security only to sit down. After that they rush to sit down somewhere else! (the plane).
If Tom Hanks has taught me anything, he's taught me to enjoy the airport, even one in this sleepy town you hardly ever hear of has art to observe, pinball and video games to play, shoe shines, shopping, and an indoor, climate controlled walk that rivals the largest of malls.
So next time you're at an airport, stretch those legs, explore a little, and find some fun.
