The hotels all look pretty much the same. Dull, unremarkable hallways leading to rooms
with the same stale scent, of too much stress and little joy. Work hotels are different than vacation hotels, always.
The flights are similar too, as are the airports. They heave with people, but we’re not
together, we just happen to all be at the same place, trying to get through the
same hassles.
We don’t connect when travelling- at least not for business
travelling when it’s wake, eat, meet, eat and sleep again. Another city, another day where you don’t
really experience the place, but instead think primarily of the tasks of travel
– the logistics of keeping going, moving until you get to the magical ride
home.
We’re surrounded and yet we’re alone when we travel.
