Another
day, another plane flight. Today I was heading towards Paducah. I almost
guffawed when I saw this in the airport at Chicago.
Arriving
at the Barkley Airport that services Paducah is like stepping back in time. You
walk down stairs onto the tarmac and walk into a small terminal building. There
is no carousel, just a short-ish conveyor belt for the checked bags. I was
expecting a few cabs or a bus, but there was nothing. So I ended up calling the
local cab service which was a hoot. The driver turned up in a mini van, and had
to move his kid’s backpack so I could sit down.
I
thought I’d be able to easily walk around and see what I wanted to see, but the
distances were much greater than I realized, and the locals were quite shocked
when I mentioned that I wanted to walk. I decided it would be best to hire a
car while I was here.
