The airport has to be one of my favorite places to people watch. I have spent quite a bit of time in airports, and today as I sat there by my gate sipping my coffee watching all the people walking and running back and forth from gate to gate, I realized that this is the one place where masses of people have so much and so little in common all at once.
Everyone in an airport is going somewhere, trying to get there the best way possible but they are traveling for so many different reasons. Flying to meet the ones that they love and to say final goodbyes. For work, for pleasure. Taking first trips together, taking trips that are long overdue. Yet, in all of this we rarely ever speak to each other for more than complaining about the flight delays.
We have this amazing opportunity to stop, in mid air, look to our left and right and begin true social networking...at 10,000 feet.
