As part of my work in arts education, I spend a lot of time traveling to conferences and meetings in other cities, which means I spend a lot of time in airports. I love flying, but like an albatross, I’m fine up in the air, but all too often have an awkward experience on the ground. My departure gate is frequently moved at the last minute to the far other end of the airport. If I have a layover, I end up waiting for the shuttle bus to my connecting flight (boarding in a few minutes - the last flight of the evening), wondering whether it is going to show up at all, let alone on time.
