The Airport Pickup

It’s terrible trying to figure out how to get somewhere in a city you’ve never been before. Strange bus routes, new taxi systems, and mazes of complex maps welcome you to your business trip, weekend getaway, or family vacation.

As you arrive at the busy airport you’re confronted by a sea of steaming faces. Baggage pickups are packed, customs desks have lines, and you’re scrambling to keep your head together as you get your bearings and worry about making time.

That’s why it’s beautiful when someone you love picks you up at the airport. Yes, when your teenage grandson, old college roommate, or church choir pal offers to rescue you from the insanity it’s a beautiful scene.

When you spot them waiting for you it’s time to drop that suitcase, bug those eyes, and run with your backpack bouncing on your shoulders into a beautiful airport hug. For just a moment everything fades to a distant background blur as you’re picked up by an old friend in a new place ...

AWESOME!
