I saw [this photo on the front page of USA Today](http://i.usatoday.net/money/_photos/2010/04/06/biztravel06x.jpg) online, and immediately knew where it was. Not just the city, but the actual physical location within the airport. I’ve been traveling way too much. ---

I don’t fly that much, and I know where that is, because it’s the major hub that gets me home 🙂 ---

I don’t fly that much either, and I know where that is, because how many airports have rocking chairs? It’s rather distinctive. ---

I get it. Same thing with realize that your idea of a good end of the day is curling up in your hotel room with some crap on TV and a double scotch from the honor bar… …that was a clue for me that it was time for a change… ---

Except I have to go to the actual bar to get Scotch. My honor bar does have good beer and chocolate, though. ---

Not just the city, but the actual physical location within the airport. I’ve been traveling way too much. Holy crap. I got it straight off too. I haven’t been through there for ages, but it used to be a weekly occurrence. ---

OK, so let us in on it – where is it? I swear I’ve been there, but I probably haven’t. ---

That’s Charlotte-Douglas Airport, in the center atrium connecting the various terminals, if I’m not mistaken. A further clue is that the article is about free Wi-fi and that appears to be a USAirways jet in the background. There are other airports with rocking chairs, btw. ---

A further clue is that the article is about free Wi-fi and that appears to be a USAirways jet in the background. There are other airports with rocking chairs, btw. Yes, of course. I had a feeling that I’d been there before, and recently, but I couldn’t figure out where or when. I stopped there between BOS and JAX in late December. ---

I wasn’t sure, but I guessed the right airport too. I don’t travel much, but I lived in CHA for 4 years so that’s why 🙂 ---

Well, I was wrong if it’s Charlotte. I thought it was Boston-Logan. You have to admit, it’s [similar](http://florentpeyre.posterous.com/nice-little-rocking-chairs-at). ---
