Airports

In the news today was a study of large North American airports and how travelers like them. I found it interesting how Detroit and Denver were listed as the top two airports, because I had the opportunity to travel to both for a job interview earlier this year. They are definitely some of the nicest airports that I've seen, both in appearance and facilities. The blue tunnel at Detroit was spectacular, and the airport train at Denver plays a cool tune every time the train stops and goes.

I also had the opportunity to travel through Philadelphia several times for interviews, and it was a pretty run-down airport compared to the others. Also, the food selection wasn't that great (especially at the C terminal), and moving between terminals isn't very convenient either.

DC Highways

From my trip to Springfield, Virginia, I learned that it's really easy to take the wrong exit near Washington National Airport and wind up in the parking lot of the Pentagon. I did it twice, once upon arrival in DC and again before departure from DC.
