I have been to a number of International Airports. But never found ant comparable to Logan International in Boston. Entering into the customs area I was always greeted with. "Welcome to the United States of America and the city of Boston." Then everyone was told of all the people wearing blue blazers to help everyone at entry control and customs. What a great place. I always had wished every US airport greeted everyone that way. My worst experience was Oakland International in California returning from Viet Nam in 1967. What a disappointment. But away from the airport, a cab driver made up for it. He was Lebonese. We talked and he reached out and turned off the meter. Then he stopped and bought a 6 pack of Michelob. Had a couple beers together. He was the first person from an Arabic country I had ever met. Though he was Christian. At the airport I had to deal with the protestors and though I was a criminal. And it was a foreign immigrant that welcomed me home.

I have never been through Heathrow. But have been through Gatwick. That would be second choice. Course being American I am partial to Englisg speaking places more than others and partial to my own country. Far as feeling an alien, that would be Miami International. Everything in Spanish but a Carribean dialect I can't even begin to understand. Many other countries are friendly and all but my limited language abilities make me miss a lot.

boorman: Do you also blame Boeing for providing the planes for the terrorists, Texaco for the jet fuel ? Learn to put the blame where it belongs. To the terrosts themselves and the mullahs that trained them to hate.
