I had an interesting experience at a bug hotel cache in Barcelona a couple
weeks ago.

This cache is literally right at the airport hidden in a parking garage. I
was the first to visit it and it made me a little nervous considering the
location and increased security at airports. It made me even more nervous
that there was a person hanging out with a pair of binoculars at the cache
location when I got there on the day I arrived. He had luggage with him and
he appeared to be watching planes take off and land. I waited for about half
and hour and finally went to my hotel. He was still there as I drove away
in the taxi.
I arrived at the airport early on the day I left and went to the cache
location. The area was deserted and I was able to find and log the cache.
Unfortunately the travel bugs were headed east and I was headed west, so I
didn't pick one up.
