Baltimore

Where is everyone?  There are only about twenty people in the entire terminal and we are all in a bar watching Kill Bill.  I am the only American and am surrounded by Brits.  I take that back, there is one lady from Canada.  The plane leaves in just under two hours but usually the gate is at least half full by now.  The only people sitting there are (is?) an old couple who are both asleep.

By the way, I am still amazed at the type of people that you can only find in an airport.  At the gate in Charlotte I sat beside a woman with her daughter and her mother.  The mother was about 90 years old and just sat in her wheelchair and her daughter was about 9 or 10 and had an iPhone.  At one point the mother and daughter left for about thirty minutes to shop and left the grandmother there by herself.  Not to mention they initially parked her facing the wall until she asked to be moved in front of the window.   To top it off, as I was walking to the international terminal here in Baltimore, I witnessed a kid with a leash around him.  It might have been somewhat okay if it was one of those adjustable ones but no.  It wasn't.  It was a bright red leash which the mother had firmly tied around her wrist.

Currently, I am watching a kid run around the terminal while his mom is trying to catch him.  It's pretty funny considering he is crawling under the benches in order to avoid being captured. 

Next stop, London.
