We’ve all done this.
You’re at an airport and you’re waiting for your flight. You may have a little extra time and you walk around the terminal. Then, you stop at the departures display — and start daydreaming. You start thinking about all of the places people are headed and you think about where you would like to go as well. In bigger airports or hubs, you can daydream about heading to Asia or Europe — those flights to London or Tokyo that just make you pause and think: what if?
I know one person who has taken the daydreaming thing a little bit further. He doesn’t actually get on the flights but rather opens up his laptop and starts learning about some of the destinations. For a couple years, he was traveling once a month domestically and started getting into it just to pass the time. He said it started in Salt Lake City as he was connecting on a Delta flight out east. He learned about Rock Springs, Wyoming and Cedar City, Utah. He did some digging into Oklahoma City (Bricktown is cool). Even though he didn’t have a boarding pass, he still was able to “get there” by taking the time to learn about destinations that he never really thought of.
There is so much “what if?” in travel. At every airport, there is an entire world that opens up and is ready to be explored. In the case of my friend, he takes the extra step to know more about it — and maybe plan a trip to some of these destinations someday.
We always love hearing about those “daydreams.” We can also turn them into reality and get you on your way to a new place to discover.
