My Travels (and various other shenanigans)

Calm.

It's calm, it's drizziling. I'm relaxed. Waiting for the Hiawatha line to Chicago. Train travel is always more laid back than airports. I love it. I'm still in the shadow of the Milwaukee flight zone - this station is pretty much right outside the grounds of the airport. A freight train passed only a moment ago. I hear a few birds, a few cars in the distance and the songs of swamp frogs and crickets. The air is warm but not hot - quite comfortable.

Milwaukee Airport

So i'm at the airport, waiting for the Amtrak shuttle. My flight was late because of the high volume of traffic in Atlanta, but thankfully I planned some cushion time. I haven't been waiting too long for the shuttle, so i'm rather relaxed and calm. However, as my flight was nearing completion, I suddenly noticed the urge to urinate. While my bladder continued to fill up, the breezeway connection had no driver. Thus, as we sat at the gate, I felt like I was going to pop! Anyway, turns out, the two restrooms in the terminal, that our arrival gate was in, were completely out of order - leaving me to run around like a chicken until I found a toilet. At last, I found one and all was well.

I'm about to take off from Atlanta. Once I land in Milwaukee I have about an hour and a half to make it to the train station. From there i'll take the Hiawatha Amtrak to Chicago Union. Supposed to meet my host at 930. Should be fun! Alright, time to work on some arabic!
