I'm quite fond of the "mobile lounges" and this post has reminded me that I have not travelled internationally since I returned from Rome.

At that time the Beltway had been layed out, but there was no building along it, save several forward-thinking corporate headquarters.<br /><br />We were taken from our gate to the jet on one of the mobile lounges (this was years before 2001: A Space Odyssey came out) and it was all very, very futuristic.Mark D.
