I'm happy because spring came a month early this year. Most of the trees are budding, and some are very close to flowering, and this week should be very warm for February, with constant highs between 12 and 15c. This is quite in contrast with last year, when there were no buds at all until early April.
Last spring was a nightmare of epic proportions. I could use a long, warm dry settled spring period with temps over 15+ in March and reaching 25 in May. The warmth would help evaporate the soggy ground much faster than cold air obviously, and the sun and pleasant outdoor conditions will make everything far more cheery and happy.
Well all airports are quite boring, but Atlanta got extra points for layout, friendly staff, facilities & the subway train...
LAX had to have the rudest staff & most intimidating immigration officials of anywhere I have ever visited, it seemed like every single person was treated as a potential terrorist, including my at the time 13 year old sister, who was dragged away by a big butch woman security guard to be randomly searched & when my Mum quite rightly objected & refused to let them take her away alone, they told my Mum 'Back off Maam or we'll search you too!'
Yeah I heard bad reports. Well EWR was fine from Belfast but this time we booked through Dublin because Belfast is a rip off so we will do the CBP at Dublin airport which means we will become domestic passengers and then go straight through at ewr to the footcourt. We also don't have to recheck our bags which is SO conveniant.
My favorite airport is Kuala Lumpur International. Since my flight was booked for the next day, I was offered a 1 day tour to view all major landmarks in the city. We were also provided with fantastic dining & lodging facilities. Malaysian Airlines was so nice towards us .
Doha is the worst airport in earth. There are ZERO gates. I was also beaten and pushed by the security in Doha. Never going there again .
I haven't been to the Eastern Hemisphere yet really. I want to visit Aussie and Dubai eventually. But it will not be until I reach my mid-20s as my parents aren't interested.
You must not get out much. Our esteemed vice president was spot on when he said that Newark airport is like being in a third world country. Maybe it was a slight exaggeration, but it's still a terrible airport.
Laguardia has HORRENDOUS public transit connectivity for an NYC airport. No direct train into NYC. One has to rely upon the NYAS bus to drop you off at port authority and the route is choked with traffic. The closest subway train is the 7, but has poor linkage to the airport. Taking Q72 is the quickest, but still is a long ordeal.

None of the three major airports feature direct trains into the city, which is a shame. LI MacArthur does however, despite being 50-60 miles east of Manhattan. The trains are usually crowded and peak tickets are a little pricey, although it's much cheaper than taking a taxi from JFK/EWR/LGA.
