I wish I'd been carrying a camera around to capture the looks on people's faces this week when I've asked them if they've ever flown out of Boston's Logan Airport. Even the people who said no got a sort of horrified look on their faces, as if I'd just asked them if they ever bit the head off a chicken.
This makes me so very excited to fly out of Boston this afternoon, thanks guys!
Especially since everyone who did have advice to offer about the best way to get to the airport offered me completely different advice. Apparently Logan and the Boston public transit system completely change approximately every 12 minutes.
But assuming I make it through the Logan Airport experience alive and on time, it will all be worth it, because I'm going to Minnesota today for the wedding of college friends, i.e. a massive college friend reunion that is going to be soooooo wonderful.
This is that group of friends from college. Most people seem to have them. They're the people you met on Day One, the people who were with you and stuck with you as you figured out who you are, the people who have seen you on the best days and the worst, and everything in between, because you lived down the hall from each other and no one was about to step outside the dorm in February in Minnesota to visit other friends. Save those friends for the balmy months. These are the people that matter when the chips are down.
And now two of them are marrying each other and most of us will be there to help celebrate. I have trouble imagining a better way to spend a weekend.
Assuming I don't get swallowed by the Boston subway en route.

Minnesota is ready for yoU!!!
Boston? Really? Dude, all of the New York airports are so much worse. You'll be fine!
Hope you survived Logan! How bad it is really depends on the day. How crowded it is and how bad the weather is.
I'm honored to have been a part of your potluck memory! It was a lot of fun. Thanks for the invite. See you next weekend!
Logan is fine. Fiiiiiiiiiiine. Plus, hey, Legal Seafoods in Terminal C.
I agree, Logan is fine. And if it's crowded today with early Thanksgiving travelers, well, I get to fly out of there Sunday evening the 30th. So you have no complaints. (Except maybe for getting there, which I can't help you with.)
Oh wait, I'm now remembering the year when I was trying to get home for Christmas (from college) along with the rest of the world, and a blizzard socked in all of New England. Hung around Logan all day, getting bumped and bumped and bumped... saw a friend from school, happened to be standing next to a random stranger when someone on a cell phone learned that there were still flights out of New York. Random stranger was over 25, so she rented a car, my friend and I tagged along, and we all got to Atlanta deep in the middle of the night. After driving from Boston to New York in the aftermath of a blizzard, after hanging round Logan all day.
But that was totally not the airport's fault! That was New England -- and now that I think of it -- where's my snow?!?!?!
(Ahem -- let your devoted readership know when you make it home safely.)
