How To Blog On Vacation: Part Two - Talk About The Airports

Quite a monochrome airport

Going on vacation normally involves flying somewhere, unless your vacation involves leaving your house and viewing the sunlight for the first time in months. This, consequently, means you’re going to be waiting at an airport for a while. And finally, in turn, this leads to the fact that you must blog about your surely interesting experience.

WHAT TO TALK ABOUT
Airports are places bustling with many kinds of people:

  • People whose only goals are to reach their flight before it departs without them.
  • Businessmen who set up workstations in airport terminals and hog all the electrical sockets.
  • Disorganized families who complain about everything.
  • Tour groups from foreign countries which often do funny things
  • That crazy homeless dude who lives in gate C12

And many places:

  • Starbucks. There are at least twenty per airport.
  • McDonalds. They are generally ten feet apart from other McDonalds so that when you exit one and decide you’re still hungry, you don’t have to walk all the way back.
  • Good restaurants that serve tasty food. There are about four per airport.
  • Book stores. Because riding a plane is boring and impulse buying is fun!
  • iPod vending machines. No, seriously, I saw one.

Still don’t have any inspiration? Here are some sample post titles you can use:

  • I feel like this guy is watching me…
  • It took me an hour to find a power socket for my laptop!
  • Why isn’t airport wireless internet free?
  • Mmm, this bagel is delicious.
  • Some guy just bumped into me!
  • Day 3, hour 6 - my flight is still delayed. We are running out of food, Mikey’s gone insane. HELP.

Just remember: always blog at least once from an airport (if you have a connector flight, you can blog in your second airport as well though this is optional). This is absolutely essential if you want to respectably blog from vacation

    No lie, Max. I’m writing this comment from McDonald’s. I swear. Not in an airport, though.

    Oh, and I kicked a young couple out of this seat because its the only one in the place with an electrical outlet. Do you think I should do a series on it? Maybe a free report would be better…

    Sounds good, Max. We need to divide it in half, though. Give the good half away free, and sell the crap half for $19.95.

    Perfect! Lure them in with good content then BAM!

    Their eyes start bleeding from the horrendous second half.
