Departures and Arrivals

At the airport now, waiting for the birthday girl to return from work trip.

Sudden realization that I have spent so much more time at the Departure Halls than Arrival Halls of airports, up until this point in my life.

I've always been excited by the airport, because it's a gateway to so many possibilities and unknowns, all just a few hours away. That's from the traveller 's, or wanderlust 's perspective - exploration, adventure, new experiences.

This moment though, the anticipation that comes from waiting at the Arrivals is of a different sort. The atmosphere is that of homecoming, reunion, familiarity. New experience for me...
