Bill Palladino takes us with him on a trip back to New York. He details some of the pieces that make up a journey home for the holidays on America's airlines. From the annoying automated voices in airport terminals and aircraft themselves, to the little moments of learning that occur in-flight. Palladino finds metaphorical significance with the experience of flight, and the experience of family. The piece is filled with stereo ambience that helps to illustrate his trip. This was originally broadcast as part of the RadioAnyway "Holiday Show," on WNMC-FM in Traverse City, MI.

Transcript
Teaser:
Ever traveled over a holiday and through the madness discovered little gems of life’s travails? Or have you ever really listened closely to all those announcements in airports and airplanes?
Intro:
Sometimes when you’re on the road, you put the map down for just a moment, and you end up someplace you hadn’t intended. Other times you get to your destination as planned, but are forever changed by unintended events on journey getting there.

Review of Airline Travel and the Family
Nice piece about travel, paints a picture of traveling home for the holidays from the perspective of a traveller who enjoys travelling on holidays. Good sound, humor and an essayist style. I'm writing this right after the holidays, which is where it really fits best. It won't be dated by the next holiday season, though, and might fit in a travel show any time of the year.
