I would love to live near an airport! I could have the world at my feet and be able to jump on a plane to anywhere I wanted. Instead I have to either travel on three or four busses; hire a taxi that would cost more than the flight or pay a fortune on airport parking (which also means taking the husband to drive me there). When can I move?

I live beside the busiest International Airport in the world! Heathrow!
It is nowhere near as bad as people think regarding noise!
I love it here!

My in-laws lived in a home only a few minutes away from O'Hare Airport for over 60 years and it wasn't that bad really. I never even noticed the noise and O'Hare is certainly one of the largest airports in the world!!
I think I could handle it. AND, it's so convenient.

No I would rather stay away from all the noise.

No, I wouldn't. My childhood was spent growing up next to an airport, and everytime a big plane flew over, our house shook. The roar was terrible. Planes flew over even at night, until about 9 pm. or so. I think that's why I have trouble concentrating on things today----the noise distraction always interfered with my attention to things.

No way.

No thank you. I stayed in a hotel one night by an airport and we didn't sleep at all because all we did was hear those planes off and they are loud. I will pass on that.

I do. You get use to it after a while, well, sort off.

Actually, my mother in law's home is very close to O'Hare Airport near Chicago and it's up for sale.
Just let me know when you could be ready to move in!!! :)
(and it's really not that noisy there ... lots of trees help!!!)

Chicago! I would love to go there, do you know it is twinned with my hometown of Glasgow? I have been told it is good for shopping and jazz clubs, sounds great to me.
by Scotslass on October 31st, 2010
No, I didn't know that about Glasgow and Chicago! How did I ever miss that .. that's great.
Oh the shopping is fantastic .. music too ... and the food is the absolute best! Best Italian food and pizza anywhere .. IMO.
