I'm leaving on a jet plane

Have you ever been to an airport, waiting to pick someone up or waiting for a flight and just sit and people watch?  I love to people watch, maybe because of my curious mind and nature.  But I’m always so intrigued at airports.  People coming, going, running to catch flights, sleeping, you see everything!  You see people with so many different emotions as well.  I don’t know, I just think they’re really interesting.  Reading peoples body languages to really figure out how they’re feeling is also a good one too.  I personally try to figure out the dynamics of a group or couple that I see.  You know?  Like, when you see a couple and they’re doing that awkward, nervous smile and look away.  And they’re bodies are turned inward, clearly interested yet cautious.  That’s first date/new relationship status right there.  I don’t know, try it sometimes see what you can see!  But anyways, that was just my additive thoughts.  Back to shoes!  So the reason for starting this post at the airport, is because this weekend I am flying to Boston to see my little brother graduate from high school (Ohmygawddd!)  I flew out this morning and stopped in Atlanta.  Currently I’m on the plane to Boston..too much turbulance for my liking.  I had a few minutes to kill in Atlanta because I landed at gate B and had to go to A (when does that ever happen?).  I started people watching and directed my attention to their shoes.  I always struggle with what shoes to wear when I fly.  I always want to look good, but then I think about the 4 mile walk I could potentially be making and think twice about the wedges I pick out and look to my Nikes.  I decided flats were appropriate, but it got me thinking what other people think when they get dressed to fly.  Some I could tell dressed purely for comfort.  A woman behind me in line at Starbucks this morning was wearing black sweats, a black t-shirt and flip flops.  Clearly dressing for comfort.  But when I got to Atlanta there were some women decked out!  Still comfortable yet much fancier than sweatpants girl (not that it was hard to be fancier than her).  I noticed a lot of flip flops as well as sneakers.  I noticed that sneakers were popular among families traveling with young children.  There was also of course the typical business man in the suit and dress shoes.  I saw very limited number of women wearing heels and if they were wearing heels, they were very low, or were small wedges.  Very interesting things to be seen.  I’ll keep my eyes open for any interesting shoes/outfits tonight at graduation. =)
