Quotes of the day (2 today, just because I liked them):
"The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow." - Bill Gates

"The hardest thing is trying not to correct everything on the Internet. It'd be night and day - wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. So you just have to say, 'All right, I'll take it, bring it on.'" - George Clooney


I am constantly astounded at the types of things that can be found on the Internet, so the other day when I saw a blog post (on Presurfer) about a website called The Guide to Sleeping in Airports, I just had to look.

Actually, once I got there I realized that there really was a lot of information for people who just plain old get stuck in an airport and have no recourse but to sleep there (although there's also information for people who seem to make a practice of sleeping in airports).

So, have you ever had the misfortune of being stuck in an airport with nowhere to go (I haven't...yet). Any other travel horror stories? (I once was in England with night falling and we couldn't find a place to stay. We seriously thought we were going to have to sleep in our car, but finally found a Bed and Breakfast with a room still available. Whew)!

Happy Traveling!

  1. I have, touch wood, never been stuck in an airport. I could quite happily live without the experience. No travel horror stories thank goodness. I may never leave home again if the worst did befall.

  2. I haven't been stuck in an airport, either. At least not for more than a couple of hours do to a delay. I dread scenarios like the ones we saw last winter where people were stranded for days.
