I also geocache occasionally while traveling. Same handle as here. It's a good way to pass what might otherwise be unproductive or lazy time; after dinner, for example.

I'm not obsessive about doing it, but I certainly want to log a geocache in any new U.S. state or country that I'm visiting.

I recall finding one cache inside of airport security. It was "Butterfly Garden @ Changi Airport T3 Transit" in Singapore. So not impossible, I would be curious to know if there are more. I've also found the virtual inside O'Hare.

I was just looking at the butterfly garden as I may be going to Singapore recently.

I tried "hiding" an earthcache at SeaTac but coudn't get the airport property manager to call me back to ask for permission. It would have been a good one. It would involve the granite art in the baggage claim area so would be accessible without a ticket but could also be done on a short layover. Oh well. If any FTers are in the "know" in Seattle maybe they could help.

I go geocaching when I can while traveling. If it's near my hotel or where I will be going, I will make time to go find it.
