Remember when the fate of the stunning Eero Saarinen-designed TWA Terminal at New York's JFK Airport was up in the air? That is, until it was declared a national landmark and Jetblue finally swooped in and put it under renovation. But just because TWA's Terminal 5 was saved doesn't mean that the other old airline terminals will get quiet as lucky.

In fact, it was just announced in a Delta meeting that they plan to demolish Terminal 3—the old Pan Am Worldport that now belongs to Delta. And they're going to do it soon! Summer 2010 is the projected construction start, and an entirely new terminal will be built on the spot once the cantilevered silhouette of T3 has left the picture. ]]> JetSetCD 2010-02-15T09:35:20-05:00 40.6444122 -73.782745 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/4/25/133941/679

We just got back from a blissful spring vacation and the old trope is true again: it went by all too quickly. We were in dire need of rest and recreation, so instead of planning an ambitious and brainy trip to Angkor Wat or Ottawa or something, we decided to press the easy button and head to Key West, Florida for four nights. We took the Acela from Penn Station to Washington D.C. (nice train ride, decent microwave cheeseburgers), dropped Zachary off with his grandparents, and then flew unencumbered to Key West via Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport, which is unbelievably huge.

The heat hit us as soon as we stepped on the tarmac of the island's tiny airport and it felt great. We had left the chill of the north far behind and escaped to the subtropics. Before long we were in a shared taxi van with a gregarious local driver who provided a running commentary on all the sites we were driving past, pointing out the capsized sailboats in the water, unmoored in a recent storm.]]> Victor Ozols 2009-04-25T13:39:41-05:00 Search Jaunted string http://www.jaunted.com/search/
