Best Thing About PDX Airport - IKEA!!

When I first drove away from the airport in Portland, I was super stoked to see an IKEA right there by the airport. I love me some IKEA and when you don't live near one, seeing one out of the blue like that is pretty exciting. And I'd be lying if I told you that I didn't stop there....because I did...but I didn't buy anything until I returned for my flight back home!


Yup, there it is - like a bright blue and yellow beacon in the distance.

To make matters worse (or better?), I actually stayed at the Hyatt Place PDX Airport hotel before my flight left, so I was super close to the IKEA. That hotel is actually really nice too. The bed was comfy, people working inside were super nice and best of all - it was quiet. Kind of surprising since it was so close to the airport, but it was nice.

Now, back to the airport. The airport in Portland, Oregon is actually kind of small. I was a bit surprised by that as it seems like a fairly large city along the same size as Nashville maybe. But I think the airport in Nashville is larger, so that was a bit weird. Nice airport though. Sometimes you get to an airport and think to yourself  "a long layover here wouldn't be all that bad" and this was definitely one of those airports. Totally different from, say, Newark Airport in Jersey, where I always seem to encounter delays and that is a really terrible airport.

All in all, I think I would love for PDX to be my local airport, except that it would likely result in the addition of new IKEA furniture after each trip home from the airport!
