I like where this is going! Most anything that has to do with travel excites me. Reading this short paragraph start to excite my curiosity almost instantly. I believe that by the time I start to read about the discovery of a plug-in that perhaps works, I'm as excited as the person who is looking for a working plug. My excitement immediately spikes as the character engages with the fellow airport person. What happens next, I want to Know? It works. My question to you is, Can you keep my excitement there?

This if coming from a person who does not really like to read books very much, because most books lose there fascination much to quickly for me. I to have sangre de orchata! However when I read this short paragraph it makes me feel like I'm being injected with real hot blood. It makes me feel like I'm coming to life.
