Does the Airport Count?
As I have been traveling around the country, a debate has arisen as to whether airports count has having visited the city. I have always stated that it does count, with some restrictions. They are as follows:
1) If you have been in the Airport longer than an hour and a half
2) If you have been on the tarmat and breathed the air
3) If you have spent significant time with law enforcement ( see #1)
I continue to find those who don't agree and state that it does not count. I then modified my statement so that if you have met the above requirements you would have to state the following.
"I have been to _____________ but have not had the full experience."
Experience being defined as having a taste of the environment, food, culture etc. Full experience would then include an extended time. ( At least by my definition.) Even with this many still will not agree. Thus I submit the photo of what is stated in the Houston Airport. Notice what it says.
Let the debate continue.

Dr. Fun! Can you start another section called "Airports I've visited!" Maybe you can hit an airport in 50 states!
Congrats on having 2 comments and at least 28 readers!
ROFL! I SO agree!
If you can't count airports, I guess I'd have to modify my cities visited on my facebook profile, drop it by about 20 or so.
Hey -what about cities you have just driven through? What about if you stopped for gas in them, or a quick bite to eat, or a rest stop? Hmmm...
Oh well. I've preached in over 70. Maybe 80 now. Been forever since I have tried to list them all, and I don't know for sure that I even can anymore.
