The Gerald R. Ford International Airport Wil Be Busy
It is a rainy Friday morning. We live just minutes from the Gerald R. Ford International Airport. This is a great airport. It is not to big and not to small. It is easy to get in and out of. Two weeks ago my wife and I flew out to San Francisco to play around a bit. Of course we had a great time. Well this is spring break week and this is the busiest time for the GRR Airport. Busier than Thanksgiving or Christmas. Everyone is need a reprieve from the winter.
This spring break will be additionally challenging because of the construction happening to the parking lot. They are building a new parking structure and it will be nice once it is completed. I am glad that they are redoing the parking structure. The next thing that they need to do is hire new security guards.
The security guards at the GRR airport are like Barney Fife. Every time we fly in or out we can not stop for 10 seconds to drop off one another or pick one another up. It is such a joke. The last time my wife was picking me up from the airport we were switching sides so that I could drive. I was in the car and she was getting in when the security guard came running. Literally, and screaming “You can’t stop here keep moving!” OK I have yet to figure out how to drop off someone or pick them up from the boarding area without stopping. If anyone has a trick on how to do that please let me know.
Well I guess that’s Life in Grand Rapids!
