Could you believe that a beer that would normally cost $4 at a normal bar costs $7 in the airport? Talk about a pointless markup! Maybe it is because the TSA has to strip search the keg to make sure that there is no weapons inside of that Miller Lite. That has labor cost, you know.
Anyway, McGee Tyson airport is pretty small. It is akin to the size of one terminal in a big airport. That means that there is nothing really to see.
Flying doesn't really scare me because I used to fly all the time in my younger days. The different between flying domestically and international, I am not sure, but I will soon be finding out.
Another aspect that is a bit nerve racking is that I will be going to be meeting my new employers face to face for the first time. A few phone conversations have happened between us and plenty of emails. There just hasn't been a physical meeting. I can't help but find myself wondering at the ridiculous prospect of my expectations being out of line with reality. There is no way of knowing for certain until I go up there.
This should be an interesting trip. Even though it is going to only last for four days, I am going to really miss my wife and son.
