So here I am sitting at SeaTac airport waiting to fly out to Maui.  We got here a little early (Lisa never likes to have to rush when we’re here – which is probably a good thing) so I decided to capture a picture at the airport for today.  So while the kids are tucking into some lunch at the food court, I walked off looking for something to shoot.

While wandering down Terminal B I looked out the windows and watched these guys, working on a plane.  A number of passengers who were taking the plane looked on too, all of them I would guess feeling a combination of frustration because they were delayed, and fear as the last thing you want to see is someone working on your plane before you take off!

So I walk up to the window all cocky and take a few shots.  Smile at the delayed passengers and walk off to find Lisa.  All the time I’m thinking, bloody hell glad that’s not me, but it will make an interesting picture.  So I find Lisa and we walk to the gate.  I get 10 minutes to process the image and post it, write something really quick saying “I’m posting now as I’m about to get on my plane – I’ll write more tonight when I land and reach my hotel…” and go to the gate to get on the plane.

Guess what?  Now we are delayed for about an hour.  I mean talk about bad karma!  I shouldn’t have laughed at the other passengers.  At least there’s nobody with wrenches standing on our plane – yet!

So I walked back to my chair and typed this up.  Hopefully we will get away this evening and get to Maui.  If not expect a series of images of the airport, as I’m not leaving.  Just think of me as Tom Hanks in “The Terminal” – I’m moving in…

While waiting for our flight at SeaTac airport the guys couldn’t resist a Wendy’s Baconator!
