We thank Denise Nesbitt, who created ABC, and we must thank Roger too for the weekly job to find ten bloggers for each of the ABC Team members to visit and to read their posts. We are beginning to find another round for all the 26 letters of the alphabet. This will be now the letter A.
As I have been travelling a lot during the past 25 years, I thought it might be appropriate to start with Airport.

| Hong Kong/ Waiting for the cyclone to be over |
In January 2014, I had to wait for 36 hours in an overcrowded airport building.
The whole population of Hong Kong seemed to have taken refuge in this enormous building. Outside the storm was still raging and it was dangerous.

Oh, that is scary!! Terrific captures for the day though, I'm just glad you and your family were safe!! Hope you have a wonderful week, Wil!! Enjoy!!
I imagine that was a horrible ordeal. I'm no fan of airports or flying anymore, but once upon a time we flew everywhere when my dad was in the air force.
Yes, perfect start for this round! I find airports very exciting as it's always the start of something special or coming home with wonderful memories!
gezien jullie vele reizen inderdaad een hele goede invulling van het thema voor vandaag ;-)
Al ben ik dan niet meer de jongste...vliegen heb ik pas 4x gedaan, 2 retourtjes.
Ben niet zo'n vakantiemens maar die korte tripjes vond ik geweldig.
Ik hoop nog eens te kunnen vliegen.
Fijne dag Wil.
Airport! good one! why couldn't I think of that?
Good choice, although I hate Airports and flying.
We don't do long haul now and only a short trip in the car through the channel tunnel, we have a wide choice of interesting European countries.
You must have been frightened of the storm hitting the airport, however all turned out good.
I bet you were glad to get on your way after that wait!
best wishes,
Di,

Wonderful shots from airport of great variety. Thanks for sharing.
A creative word (and great pictures to get the alphabet off to a good start again! That was a really long wait! One is always glad that the airlines aren't trying anything unsafe... and we know there is a reason for delays. But they still get so tiresome. And I've never had one that long. I'd be ready to fall asleep on the floor too!
I love to fly too and travel to new places. 36 hours would be a real trial, glad you triumphed. Our airport here is so easy to get around, not like a few I have been too.

I used to love flying, but not lately. Airports and airplanes so crowded, - feel like a sardine, crammed into a long narrow tin. I look for alternative ways of 'getting there'.
Love that delft blue light. The smaller the airport the better for me but I imagine for your granddaughter it was just one big adventure.
Airports are my fave spot for people watching.

All aboard! Aloha, Wil
Bon voyage! I got you covered!
ROG, ABCW
You captured the many views of a day at the airport real well!
was it just two weeks ago that the radar in New Zealand airports were no working. No planes flew out. I asked what about incoming planes. They tell me, they probably let them come in.
I like how you photographed the travelator.
I have not had very many mishaps with airports, only flights. Your photos are a reminder to anyone taking a flight to consider the weather conditions. Very apt for any time of year. Well done, Wil.
You got some great action shots of airports throughout your travels. I especially enjoyed the one of your granddaughter and the one of the card playing. Blessings!
Cairns looks like she can use technology handily. Great collection of airport and travel life.
What a long trip for a little girl ! And the incidents on the top !

wonderful images of your grandchildren!
wow, your grand daughter is so adorable.
Lovely grandchildren~
I didn't know that Hong Kong gets Tornados and I only thought just here the midwest as well as other parts of USA gets Tornados.
Thank you for visiting my blog and yes I had drawn out that cartoon.
